Question

Help!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! What is the range of possible sizes for side x? Please explain about the rule as well.....

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 < x < 11.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side, for it to form a triangle. So, we can set up 3 equations, x + 5.8 > 6, 5.8 + 6 > x, and x + 6 > 5.8. This solves out to x > 0.2, x < 11.8, and x > -0.2. We can disregard that last one, because a side can't be negative. Therefore, we know the possible range of values for x.

I hope I could be of help! Please give brainliest!
