Answer:

32

Explanation:

Any number between 16 - 12 = 2 and 16 + 12 = 28 are possible.

Among given choices, only 32 is not in the above region. so 32 CANNOT be the value.

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the inequality rule, the third side has to be less than 12 + 16 = 28.
So, any answer of 28 or more than 28 does NOT satisfy the length.
It also has to be more than 4 to satisfy the inequality rule.

In short words, 4 < x < 28.

A, B and C all satisfy, because they are in the range of x

D) 32 is >28, so this is the wrong answer and CANNOT be the value of x.
