The Solution:

Given:


\begin{gathered} 102<p>We are required to find the range of a side (s).</p><p></p>[tex]102<4s\text{ or }4s<138

So,


\begin{gathered} 102<4s \\ \\ 4s>102 \\ \\ s>(102)/(4) \\ \\ s>(51)/(2) \\ \\ s>25.5 \end{gathered}

Similarly,


\begin{gathered} 4s<138 \\ \\ s<(138)/(4) \\ \\ s<(69)/(2) \\ \\ s<34.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is (25.5, 34.5)
