Answer:

3 < c < 11

Explanation:

A side of a triangle cannot be greater than the sum of the other two side lengths; otherwise, it would simply be a line.

Similarly, a side of a triangle cannot be less than the difference of the other two side lengths; otherwise it would simply be a line.

7 + 4 = 11, thus c < 11

7 - 4 = 3, thus c > 3

3 < c < 11
