Detailed Solution

Case I. In ∆ABC

Check if the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is always less than the third side

Consider AB = 2.5 cm, BC = 4.8 cm and AC = 5.2 cm
AB + BC = 2.5 cm + 4.8 cm = 7.3 cm
Since, 7.3 > 5.2 , AB + BC > AC
Therefore, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Case II. In ∆PQR,

Check if the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is always less than the third side

Consider PQ = 2 cm, QR = 2.5 cm and PR = 3.5 cm
PQ + QR = 2 cm + 2.5 cm = 4.5 cm
Since, 4.5 > 3.5, PQ + QR > PR
Therefore, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Case III. In ∆XYZ,

Check if the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is always less than the third side

Consider XY = 5 cm, YZ = 3 cm and ZX = 6.8 cm
XY + YZ = 5 cm + 3 cm = 8 cm
Since, 8 > 6.8, XY + YZ > ZX
Therefore, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Case IV. In ∆MNS,

Check if the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is always less than the third side

Consider MN = 2.7 cm, NS = 4 cm and MS = 4.7 cm
MN + NS = 2.7 cm + 4 cm = 6.7 cm
Since, 6.7 >4.7, MN + NS > MS
Hence, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

Case V. In ∆KLM,

Check if the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is always less than the third side

Consider KL = 3.5 cm, LM = 3.5 cm and KM = 3.5 cm
KL + LM = 3.5 cm + 3.5 cm = 7 cm
7 cm > 3.5 cm, KL + LM > KM
Therefore, the sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.
