In order to be a triangle, the sum of two sides must be greater than the third side.  (Just think about it for a bit and you will see why this has to be true).  For example, could you have a triangle with side 3 inches, 4inches, and then a whopping 100 inches?  No, because the other two sides are too short to fully connect a triangle!

So once you understand this, we can find the possible length <span>of </span>the missing side.

Let x be the length of the missing side in centimeters.  The other two sides are 18cm and 40cm.

So one possible combination:

The sum of our two known lengths must be larger than the unknown length:

18 + 40 > x
58 > x

Therefore one constraint is that our third side has to be less than 58 centimeters.

Another combination:

18 + x > 40
x > 22

So another constraint is that our third side must be larger than 22 cm.

The last combination is pointless:

40 + x > 18

Since 40 is already larger than 18, then "40 + x" is obviously larger than 18.

So therefore our x has to be in this range:

22 < x < 58

In other words, our third side has to be larger than 22 cm, but less than 58 cm.

BRIANILEST!!Rushawn lined up the interior angles of the triangle along line p below.
astra-53 [7]
Your answer would be the last option: What will happen to the individual sections cannot be determined, but the size of the two sections together increases.

This is because angles on a straight line add to 180°, so if angle C decreases, angles A and B must collectively increase to make up for the loss. For example, if C = 20° and it decreases to 15°, A + B + C would equal 175° and so A and B would need to increase to make it 180°.

The reason we can't determine what happens to the individual sections is that they could either both increase, or one could increase and one could decrease, as long as they collectively make up for the decreased angle.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
