Question

An acute triangle has two sides measuring 8 cm and 10 cm . What is the best representation of the possible range of values for the third side , s? 2 < s< 18 6 < s < 12.8 s < 2 or s > 18 s < 6 or s > 12.8

Answer 1

Answer:

the right answer is 2 < s< 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The Third side of the triangle must be greater than the difference of the other two sides which is 10 -8= 2 and smaller than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle which is 10+8= 18.

so third side should be greater than 2 and less than 18.

So right answer is 2 < s< 18
