The length of the third side of the tringle must lie in between 7 and 7 i.e length of the third side will always be greater than 7 and smaller than 17 according to the properties of a triangle.

According to the given question.

We have a right angled triangle with the two side lengths 5 unit and 12 unit.

From the properties of a triangle we know that " the sum of the length of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side". Or " the difference between the two sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side".

Let the third side of the triangle be x units.

So, by the properties of a triangle we can say that

12 - 5 < x

⇒ 7 < x

And 12 + 5 > x

⇒ 17 > x

Therefore, the length of the third side of the tringle must lie in between 7 and 7 i.e length of the third side will always be greater than 7 and smaller than 17.

Why does a plant only need to use a portion of its energy and not the entire thing?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Because All organisms, including humans, need energy to fuel the metabolic reactions of growth, development, and reproduction. But plants can't use light energy directly for their metabolic needs.  And half of there energy is light energy so it must first be converted into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
