Triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle will always be more than the length of the third side.

Given the two sides of the triangle as 8 inches and 12 inches.

There sum would be 8 + 12 = 20 inches.

So, according to the theorem:

Sum of side measureing 8 inches and 12 inches must be more than x.

So, 8 + 12 > x.

20 > x

Therefore, x < 20.

So, x must be less than 20 inches.

Hope this helps you!

Each side of an equilateral triangle measure 11 centimeters. To the nearest tenth of an centimeter, what is the length of the al
Orlov [11]
The length of the altitude is 9.5 cm.

The altitude bisects the base of the equilateral triangle (this is because the two sides emerging from the vertex are equal).  This gives us a right triangle with leg 5.5 and hypotenuse 11.  We use the Pythagorean theorem:

5.5² + h² = 11²
30.25 + h² = 121

Subtract 30.25 from both sides:
30.25 + h² - 30.25 = 121 - 30.25
h² = 90.75

Take the square root of both sides:
√h² = √90.75
h = 9.5
