Answer:

The possible lengths of TR : TR = 17, 40, 42, 52,

Explanation:

Given: Triangle WTR with WT = 25 and WR = 40. Identify all possible lengths for TR.

To find the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle:

c - a< b > a + c

a = WT = 25

c = WR= 40

b = TR = ??

40 - 25 < b < 40 + 25

15 < b < 65

The possible lengths of TR has to be greater than 15 and less than 65, Hence: TR = 17, 40, 42, 52,
