Given:

We're given the value of two sides of triangles, which are 26 and 48 meters.

To find:

We need to find the range of possible lengths of the side.

Step-by-step solution:

To solve these problems, we need to use a simple concept that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

x + y > z

x + z > y

y + z > x

Putting the value is the equation:

x + 26 > 48

x + 48 > 26

48 + 26 > x

Upon further solving:

x > 22

x > -22

74 > x

Combining the above inequalities:

The range of the third side of the triangle is equal to:

22 < x < 74 (It is the correct answer of the question)
