Answer:

the first 3 options

Explanation:

given 2 sides of a triangle then the third side x is in the range

difference of 2 sides < x < sum of 2 sides , that is

13
√(2) - 5
√(2) < x < 13
√(2) + 5
√(2)

8
√(2) < x < 20
√(2) ( converting to decimal )

11.3 < x < 28.3

3 possible lengths for XZ are then values
