We know that

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

therefore
(3+3/4)=3.75 in

the third side must be < 3.75 in

the length could be 3 in

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of a third side of the triangle is:

$\dfrac{9}{4}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that the Property of a triangle is that:

<em>The length of the third side of a triangle is always greater than the difference of the length of the other two sides and always less than the sum of the length of the other two sides.</em>

Hence,let 'c' denote the length of the third side of a triangle.

Hence,

$3-\dfrac{3}{4}$
