Question

Two sides of a triangle have lengths 18m and 23m. Describe the possible length of the thired side

Answer 1

The possible length of the third side will be values that are less than 41 and greater than 5

Triangular theorem

For three sides to be the sides of a triangle, the sum of any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the third.

Given the two sides of a triangle have lengths 18m and 23m, the sum of the sides is given as:

sum = 18 + 23

Sum = 41

Let the third side be x, such that;

x + 18 >23

23 + x > 18

x >  23 - 18

x > 5

Similarly

x > -5

Hence the possible length of the third side will be values that are less than 41 and greater than 5
