Can someone help me with this problem?

1.)Given a triangle with side lengths of 3 cm and 5 cm, what is a possible length of the third side?
a.)1 cm
b.)2 cm
c.)7 cm
d.)8 cm

Answer 1

`\bold{ANSWER}`

By property of triangle we know largest side is equal to sum of other two sides.

Let the third side be x

So by converse of theorem,

5= 3 +x

5-3=x

`\huge \boxed{ 2=x}`

the answer is b.)2 cm
