Question

Two side lengths of a triangle are 17 meters and 12 meters long. What is the range of possible lengths for the third side?A)5 < s < 29 B)5 < s < 17 C)12 < s < 17 D)12 < s < 29

Answer 1

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{The greater side must be less than the sum of two sides, So} \\ s<17+12 \\ s<29 \\ \text{The smaller side must be great than the difference of two sides, So} \\ s>17-12 \\ s>5 \\ So\text{ the side must varry betw}een \\ 5
