the length of two sides of a triangle are 3cm and 5 cm. between which two measures should the length of third side fall
Answers
Answer:
length falls between 2 - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
It is known that the sum of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side, so,
thirdside<5+7
thirdside<12
And,
thirdside>7−5
thirdside>2
Therefore, 2<thirdside<12.
Hence, the third side of the triangle falls between (2,12)
Answer:
The 3rd side fall between 2 and 8
Given problem:
the length of two sides of a triangle are 3cm and 5 cm.
between which two measures should the length of third side fall
Step-by-step explanation:
length of the 2 sides of a triangle are 3 cm and 5 cm
Note:
- In a triangle sum of any two sides must be greater than third side
- The difference between two sides must less than the third side
therefore the third side of the given triangle
third side must be less than 3 + 5 ⇒ 3rd side < 8
third side must be greater than 5 - 3 ⇒ 3rd side > 2
the third side fall between 2 and 8
⇒ 2 < 3rd side < 8
