Answer:

1 < x < 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Inequality Theorem

Let y and z be two of the side lengths of a triangle. The length of the third side x cannot be any number. It must satisfy all the following restrictions:

x + y > z

x + z > y

y + z > x

Combining the above inequalities, and provided y>z, the third size must satisfy:

y - z < x < y + z

We are given the measures y=10, z=9. The third side must satisfy:

10 - 9 < x < 10 + 9

1 < x < 19

In cases like these, you simply have to multiply the choices you have for each step.

In fact, you can choose between 4 different crusts. For each of these crusts you can choose 4 different sauces. This means that there are $4\cdot 4 = 16$ choices at this point. In fact, if we call the crust options 1,2,3,4 and the sauce options A,B,C,D, the 16 possible combinations are
