Question

A Triangle has two sides of length 16.4 and 10.2. What compound inequality describes the possible length for the 3rd side

Answer 1

6.2 < x < 26.6

Explanation:

The length of a side of a triangle is between the difference and the sum of the lengths of the other two sides.

16.4 - 10.2 = 6.2

16.4 + 10.2 = 26.6

Let x = length of third side.

6.2 < x < 26.6
