If the lengths of two sides of an isosceles triangle are 4 cm and 10 cm, then the length of the third side is
4 cm
10 cm
7 cm
14 cm
Answer
The length of third side can either be 4 cm or 10 cm.
If the third side is 4 cm then the sides are,
4, 4, 10.
Here, 4 + 4 = 8 < 10.
Since, the sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater than third side hence, these sides are not possible.
Hence, the length of third side is 10 cm.
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
