Question

Given the lengths of two sides of a triangle, find the range for the length of the third side. (Range means find between which two numbers the length of the third side must fall.) Write an inequality. 23 and 44

Answer 1

21 and 67

21<x<67

Explanation:

Answer 2

21 and 67

21<x<67

Explanation:

The smallest side with two sides of 23 and 44 must be more than 44-23=21

The largest side with two sides of 23 and 44 must be less than 44+23=67

So the range is between 21 and 67.

As an equation, it would be 21<x<67
