Question

know that two of the side lengths of the triangle are 3 inches and 4 inches. We represent the third side length of the triangle with the variable x.

Answer 1

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following sides of a triangle

s1 = 3

s2 = 4

Reqquired

Third side x (hypotenuse)

Using the pythagoras theorem;

x^2 = s1^2 + s2^2

x^2 = 3^2 + 4^2

x^2 = 9+16

x^2 = 25

x = \sqrt{25}

x = 5

Since x is equal to 5, this means we can say that the values of x is less than 7 (x < 7) based on the option
