Question

Two sides of a triangle have lengths 6 and 17. Which expression describes the length of the third side?

a. at least 11 and less than 23
b. at least 11 and at most 23
c. greater than 11 and at most 23
d. greater than 11 and less than 23

Answer 1

c. greater than 11 and at most 23

you can find this by subtracting the two smaller sides to find the smallest side possible for the 3rd side 17-6=11
to find the largest side possible you can add the to side 17+6=23
