Answer:
The least and the greatest possible value of p is 21 and 28 cm.
Given:
One side of a triangle is 5cm and other side is 10 cm and its perimeter is p cm.
To find:
The least and the greatest possible value of p
Solution:
In a triangle the sum of two sides is less than the third side.
Consider 5 and 10 cm as the two sides.
When 10 is the largest then the other must be at least 6.
The perimeter = 10 + 5 + 6 = 21 cm
I f the third side is the largest, then it should be less than 10 + 5 = 15,
Hence it should be 14, 10 + 5 + 14 = 29 cm
21 and 28 cm are the values of p.
