Answer: 0.5 < x < 16.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Two sides of triangle: 8.0 units and 8.5 units
Measure of third side = x
According to the triangle's inequality,
- Sum of any two sides > third side. (i)
- Difference between the sides < third side. (ii)
If x is the third side, then
x < 8+8.5 [Using (i)]
i.e. x< 16.5
Also, x > 8.5-8 [Using (ii)]
i.e. x> 0.5
Hence, Range of possible sizes for side x would be 0.5 < x < 16.5.
