A triangle has side lengths of 14 cm and 8 cm. Which could be the value of the third side, 26 cm or 18 cm?

It’s 18cm because to get the lengths of the triangle you have to add 14+8 and the answer has to be greater than the 3rd side. When I added 14+8, I got 22 and 22 is greater than 18. So 18cm is the answer.
Hope this helps!
