Constructing Triangles

Question 13 • FL-1205040-M/J Grade 7 Mathematics B -GF

Sarkis wants to draw a triangle with sides measuring 4 ft, 10 ft, and 16 ft. Which is true about Sarkis’s plan?

Answer
A
Sarkis cannot draw a triangle with these side lengths.
B
Sarkis can only draw one unique triangle with these side lengths.
C
Sarkis can draw exactly two triangles with these side lengths.
D
Sarkis can draw more than one triangle with these side lengths.

Explanation

For three lengths to form a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. Here, 4 ft + 10 ft = 14 ft, which is less than 16 ft, so the sides cannot form a triangle. The true statement is that Sarkis cannot draw a triangle with these side lengths.
