Question

2345A triangle has side lengths measuring 2x + 2 ft, x + 3 ft,and n ft.Which expression represents the possible values of n, infeet? Express your answer in simplest terms.COL0 x-1

Answer 1

we have:

If a, b and c are the lengths of the triangle's sides, then

a = 2x +2

b = x + 3

c = n

so,

`\begin{gathered} 2x+2+x+3>n \\ 3x+5>n \\ n<3x+5 \end{gathered}`

and

`\begin{gathered} x+3+n>2x+2 \\ x+3+n-x-3>2x+2-x-3 \\ n>x-1 \end{gathered}`

therefore,

answer:

[tex]x-1
