Question

John is measuring a piece of glass to fit in a triangular frame. He can only remember

two sides of the frame, which are 6 centimeters and 11 centimeters. Between what
two numbers must the third side of the frame fall?
A. X < 17
B. X > 5
C.5< X < 17
D. 5 ≤ X ≤ 17

Answer 1

Answer: (c)

Explanation:

Given

length of two sides of a triangle is 6 cm and 11 cm

In a triangle length of the third side lies between the sum and subtraction of the other two sides

Suppose x is the length of the third side so

`11-6<x<11+6\\5<x<17`
