The vital condition of a triangle is that any 2 sides need to add up to make a value greater than the third side. In the values given, these are the sums which all suggest these lengths can form a triangle:
8.5 cm + 6 cm = 14.5 cm which is greater than the third side of 7 cm.
7 cm + 6 cm = 13 cm which is greater than the third side of 8.5 cm.
8.5 cm + 7 cm = 15.5 cm which is greater than 6 cm.
All of these sums suggest these lengths can make a triangle.
Answer:
Yes, the sides are possible to construct a triangle.
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the 2 smallest sides and if they are bigger than the biggest side then it is a triangle.
7 + 6 > 8.5
13 > 8.5
