Question

What is the smallest possible length for the third side of the triangle given the two sides 10 and 5?

Answer 1

Greater than 15

Explanation:

Recall the Triangle Inequality Theorem which states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side, which is the same as a+b>c.

Therefore, the smallest possible length for the third side of the triangle would have to be greater than 15 since 10+5=15.
