The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement 1:** If the lengths of any two sides of a triangle are 8 cm and 11 cm, then the length of the third side lies between 3 cm and 19 cm. - According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. - Therefore, if we denote the sides as \( a = 8 \) cm, \( b = 11 \) cm, and \( c \) as the third side, we have: - \( a + b > c \) → \( 8 + 11 > c \) → \( 19 > c \) → \( c < 19 \) - \( a + c > b \) → \( 8 + c > 11 \) → \( c > 3 \) - \( b + c > a \) → \( 11 + c > 8 \) → This condition is always satisfied as \( c \) is positive. Thus, the third side \( c \) must be greater than 3 cm and less than 19 cm. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement 2:** It is possible to construct a unique triangle if all its three angles are given. - When only the angles of a triangle are given, we can construct a triangle, but it is not unique. Different triangles can have the same angles but different side lengths (similar triangles). - Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement 3:** We cannot make a 30-degree angle using a ruler and compass. - It is indeed possible to construct a 30-degree angle using a ruler and compass. One common method is to first create a 60-degree angle and then bisect it to get a 30-degree angle. - Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement 4:** A triangle can be constructed by taking two of its angles, 90 degrees and another angle. - The sum of angles in a triangle must equal 180 degrees. If one angle is 90 degrees, the other angle must be \( 180 - 90 = 90 \) degrees. This would imply that the triangle is not possible since it would have two right angles. - Therefore, this statement is **false**. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the statements, we find that only **Statement 1** is correct.
