Answer:

The largest possible whole-number length for the third side of a triangle with two sides of length 7 and 10 is 13. This is due to the fact that the two given lengths must be added together, and then subtracted from the third side in order to create a valid triangle. Therefore, the third side must be at least 13 in order to create a triangle.
