Answer:

19cm

Explanation:

Given Lengths

14 cm, 9 cm

We check the triangle's inequalities if we add the third side of 25 cm

14+9 = 23 < 25

We check the triangle's inequalities if we add the third side of 19 cm

14+9 = 23 > 19

14+9 = 23 >19

19+ 9= 28 > 14

Since all the tree inequalities above are true 19cm can be the value
