Write True or False. Give reasons for your answer:
A triangle ABC can be constructed in which BC = 6 cm, and AC – AB = 4 cm.
Answer
True
Solution
Given : BC = 6 cm, and AC – AB = 4 cm.
The theorem of inequalities says that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
i.e., BC + AB > AC
BC > AC – AB
Putting the given values, we have:
6 > 4 (True)
This type of triangle can be constructed.
Therefore the given statement is True.
