Q5.
Two students were asked to construct a triangle with side lengths 3 cm , 2 cm and 4 cm. Are they both correct?
An image in a quiz
No, they are not both correct. Only B is correct because she mentioned the shortest angle first then measured the rest.
No, they are not both correct. Only student A is correct because the base is 3cm.
