Question

Two sides of a triangle are 30in and 30in, what are the possible lengths of the third side

Answer 1

`0 < x < 60`

Explanation:

By the Triangle Inequality Theorem:

30 + 30 > x, so 60 > x ----> x < 60

30 + x > 30, so x > 0

x + 30 > 30, so x > 0

Putting these inequalities together, we have 0 < x < 60. So the length of the third side can be greater than 0 inches but less than 60 inches.
