Question

The side lengths of a triangle are 10, 17, and x units.1017(The figure above gives only one possible configuration for the triangle.)Determine the possible values of x.Write your answer as an inequality.Use x only once in your inequality.

Answer 1

Explanation:

as its not mentioned what type of triangle this is, we have to work with the sum of sides thing.

the sum of lengths of two sides of a triangle cannot be smaller than the third side.

Here 10 + 17 = 27

so x has to be between 0 to 27.

so possible values of x could be like 12, 20, 5 etc.

as an inequality it would be 0<x and x<27
