Question

Describe the possible lengths of the third side of the triangle given that the lengths of the other two sides are 25 meters and 25 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, we can say that the length of the third side is  strictly  less than 50 meters.

Step by step explanation:

First Side of triangle = 25 m

Second side   of triangle = 25 m

Let, the length of the third side = k meters

Now, 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, here    First Side + Second side  > Third side

or, 25 m + 25 m > k

or, k <  50 m

or, the length of the third side is strictly less than 50 m.

Hence, by the above inequality, we can say that the length of the third side is strictly  less than 50 meters.
