Question

2. A triangle has a side length of 2 inch and a side length of 3 inches. What could be the length, in inches, of the third side of the triangle? Complete the response grid in the Answer Document.​

Answer 1

the third side can measure 2 in, 3 in, or 4 in

Step-by-step explanation

inequality theorem

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

2 = a

b = 3

c = x

a + b > c

2 + 3 > x

5 > x

x= 4, 3, 2, or 1 in

a + c > b

2 + x > 3

x = 4, 3, or 2

b + c > a

3 + x > 2

x = 4, 3, or 2
