Joe measures side lengths of triangular canvas to be 22 inches, 10 inches and 11 inches. Could those be correct measurements?

Answer :

Answer:

Incorrect measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Triangle

Length: 22in, 10in and 11in

Required: Determine if the measurements are correct

For the measurement of a triangle to be true, the sum of any 2 sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

i.e.

[tex]22 + 10 > 11[/tex] --- True

[tex]22 + 11 > 10[/tex] --- True

[tex]11 + 10 > 22[/tex] --- False

Since all three conditions are not true, then the measurements are incorrect
