Question

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 24 and 43. What is the range of possible lengths for the third side, x, of this triangle?

Answer 1

Difference of the lengths = 43 - 24 = 19

Sum of the lengths = 43 + 24 = 67

range of possible lengths for the third side, x is given as

19 < x < 67

19 will go into the first box while 67 goes into the second box
