Determine whether these measures can be sides of a triangle?

15, 8, 17

YES!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! I hope you and your family is safe and happy. So, let us pretend that the measurements that you gave (15, 8, 17) are in cm. I have attached a picture of me drawing these measurements out in order to find if it would form a triangle or not.

You can see that it does form a triangle. When forming a triangle it is always better to have bigger value as your length and other values as the triangle's height.

Triangles values / measurements :-

17 cm, 15 cm, 8 cm

You can see that 17 cm is the biggest value than 15 cm and 8 cm, so 17 cm would be my length of the triangle. If the tip of the triangle intersects meaning if it touch then the measurements given can be formed in a triangle, but if the tip of the triangle does not intersects meaning it does not touch then the measurements given can not form a triangle. Also use a ruler and pencil and cm are the easy units to draw a triangle.

Hope this helps, thank you :) !!
