10. Two sides of a triangle have
the following measures. Find the
range of possible measures for
the third side.
35, 29

7 6 8 9

Respuesta :

Answer:

The range of possible measures for  the third side are 6 < x < 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.

The two sides of a triangle are:

A = 35

B = 29

Suppose the third side is, C = x.

Then,

A + B > C

⇒ 35 + 29 > x

⇒ 64 > x

⇒ x < 64

But for the inequality theorem to be consistent for all the three sides, the third side must have a lower bound.

The difference between the two provided side is,

Diff = 35 - 29 = 6

The third side should not be less than 6 for the inequality theorem to hold.

Thus, the range of possible measures for  the third side are 6 < x < 64.
