Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let the three sides be a, b and c
Such that:
Required
Find c such that a, b and c do not form a triangle
To do this, we make use of the following triangle inequality theorem
To get a valid triangle, the above inequalities must be true.
To get an invalid triangle, at least one must not be true.
Substitute:
The results of the inequality is: and
Rewrite as: and
This means that, the values of c that make a valid triangle are 1 to 9 (inclusive)
Any value outside this range, cannot form a triangle
So, we can say:
, since no options are given
