Answer 2

the right answer is 2 < s< 18

Explanation:

The Third side of the triangle must be greater than the difference of the other two sides which is 10 -8= 2 and smaller than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle which is 10+8= 18.

so third side should be greater than 2 and less than 18.

So right answer is 2 < s< 18
