Answer:

The possible lengths of the third side is all real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>The Triangle Inequality Theorem</u>. states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

Let

x -----> the possible lengths of the third side

Applying the Inequality Theorem

1) 12+8 > x

20 > x

Rewrite

x < 20 in

2) 8+x > 12

x> 12-8

x > 4 in

therefore

4 in < x < 20 in

The possible lengths of the third side is all real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches

Anni [7]

Answer:

When something is linear it will meet the criteria, on a graph it will be a straight line, it won't have any curves in it.

When something is nonlinear it doesn't fit the criteria, on a graph it will be curved, never straight
