Answer:

6

Explanation:

It is given in the question that a triangle has two sides of length 2 and 5.

So, the range of the value of the third side (x) is 7 > x > 3.

Therefore, the length of the third side will be within 7 and 3 but not including 7 and 3.

Hence, the largest possible whole number length for the third side will be 6 which is < 7. (Answer)
