Can you construct a triangle with side lengths of 1 meter, 7 meters, and 8 meters? Yes or no and explain

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

No.

Each side of a triangle must have a length between the difference and the sum of the lengths of the other two sides.

Let's look at the sum and difference of lengths of 2 sides.

Side with length 1 and side with length 7; third side with length 8

sum of lengths of first two sides = 1 + 7 = 8

difference = 7 - 1 = 6

The third side would have to have a length between 6 and 8. The third side has a length of 8. For a triangle, the third side must be between the sum and difference. Here, the third side is equal to the sum, so there is no triangle.

As soon as one side does not work, there is no triangle, and you don't need to check the sums and differences of the other two sets of two sides.
