Sum of two sides should be greater than third side in a triangle
So,
14+11> X (X is third side)
So x<25
Similarly the difference of two sides should be greater than third side
Hence,
14-11 X> 3
So the range is 3
So,
14+11> X (X is third side)
So x<25
Similarly the difference of two sides should be greater than third side
Hence,
14-11 X> 3
So the range is 3

the range of possible measures of the third side is
3cm < 3rd side < 25cm ...
Reason: the Sum of any 2 sides of a triangle is always greater than the 3rd side.
Explanation: minimum length of the 3rd side is 4 cm... because if we consider 11 cm side and 4 cm side then their Sum will be 15 cm which is greater than the other side (14cm)... thus the condition is satisfied....
And for maximum length it should be 24cm since the sum of the other two sides is 25 cm (14 +11) which has to be greater than the 3rd side to satisfy the condition.
Hope it helps, if it does,
