Can you draw a triangle with these measurements
4cm,6cm and 11cm
---
No because 4+6 < 11
========================
Explanation:
1st draw the 11 cm side; call it AB.
2nd: at the "A" end draw the 4cm side.
3rd: at the "B" end draw the 6cm side.
Final: Since 4+6 is less than 11 cm
the shorter sides will not meet at a
point to form a triangle.
