Question

GUYS PLEASE HELP!!A gardener plans to construct a triangular garden using logs for the edges. She has logs that measure

5 meters and 3 meters. Which of the following lengths could be used for the third side of the garden?
A 2 meters
B 6meters
C 8meters
D 9meters

Answer 1

6 meters

Explanation:

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side. And this MUST be true for all the combinations

The only length where this is true is 6

3+5 is greater than 6

2+6 is greater than 5

5+6 is greater than 3
