Can the third side of a triangle be 10 cm, if the other two sides are 20 cm and 32 cm.
----------------
3rd side must be > 32-20 = 12
and < 32+20 = 52
===
The 3rd side cannot be 10 cm.

Hi
Can the third side of a triangle be 10 cm, if the other two sides are 20 cm and 32 cm.
NO, because 10cm + 20cm is not greater than 32cm
Sum of the lengths of two sides needs to be > than the length of remaining side
