Question

Ivan knows two sides of a triangle are 16 meters and 6 meters. What two values must the third side be between

Answer 1

Third side lies between 10 & 22.

Explanation:

Any side of triangle is greater than difference of two sides. Sum of two sides of triangle is always greater than third side.

So, letting third size be = x

Difference of two sides < Third side x < Sum of two sides

Difference of two sides = 16 - 6 = 10 , Sum of two sides = 16 + 6 = 22

Hence, 10 < Third side x < 22
