Question

The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 5cm and 8cm. Between what two measures should the
length of the third side fall?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle sum of 2 sides must be greater than the 3rd side. So, the third > 8 - 6 = 2 and also the third < 8 + 6 = 14. So, the answer is 2 < third side < 14. The third side lies between(2,14).

Answer 2

Answer:

third side is smaller= 8-6= 2cm

third side is greater =8+6 = 14 cm

third side lie between 2vm and 14 cm
