Question

A triangle has two sides that measure 7 centimeters and 16 centimeters, respectively. Which statement is true about x, the length in centimeters of the third side?
7 16

x<9orx>23

Answer 1

Answer:

9<x<23

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this is what it wants, but theres this theorem that says a side needs to be less than the other two combined.

x+7>16

x+16>7

16+7>x

=>

x>9

x>-9

x<23

=>

9<x<23
