Answer 1

See Explanation

Explanation:

Given

The question is incomplete, as what is required is not state. However, a possible question could be to determine the possible side length of the third side.

To do this, we make use of the triangle inequality theorem which states that:

Given three sides (a, b and c) of a triangle, the following inequalities exist.

Let a and b represent the two sides such that:

The inequalities become:

Solve for c in each:

The value of c must be positive, so, we consider;

and

Rewrite:

and

Combine both

Hence, the value of c is:
