Question

the lengths of two sides of a triangle are 8cm and 9cm. between what two measures should the length of the third side fall​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third

Therefore third side has to be less than the sum of the two sides The third side is thus less than 8+6=14 cm The side can not be less than the difference of the two sides Thus the third side has to be more than 8−6=2 cm The length of the third side could be any length greater than 2 and less than 14 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

In triangle sum of 2 sides must be greater than the 3rd side. So, the third > 9- 8 = 1 and also the third < 8 + 9= 17. So, the answer is 1 < third side < 17. The third side lies between(1,17).
