PR must be less than 26cm as PQ + QR = 26cm

PR must be more than 16cm as PD- QR = 16cm

At both those limits the sides would lay on top of each other.

Let

x---------> the possible lengths for PR


we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

so

case 1)

x+5 >21\\ x >16cm


case 2)

x+21 > 5\\ x >-16cm


case 3)

21+5 > x\\ 26 > x\\ x < 26cm

so

16 < x < 26

therefore


the answer is

PR must be less than 26cm and must be more than 16cm
