Complete question:

If side x has a length of 15 cm and side y has a length of 4 cm, then which value below could be the length of the third sides? A.20cm B.16cm C.22cm D.23cm

Answer:

B. 16 cm

Explanation:

Given;

two lengths of the triangle as 15 cm and 4 cm

The length of the third side of the triangle must be less than the sum of the two given sides.

Length of third side < 15 cm + 4 cm

Length of third side < 19 cm

The only option less than 19 cm is B. 16 cm

Therefore, the correct option is B. 16 cm
