Question

A triangle has two sides that have lengths of 37 cm and 19 cm. Which could represent the possible length of the third side?

Answer 1

Answer:

$18cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

First side 37 cm

Second side 19 cm

Generally considering the triangle inequality theorem we have

  $37+19>X\\X+37>19\\X+19>37$

Solving equations we have

  $X18\\X>-18$

Generally from the inequalities the range of X is mathematically given as

$X>18\\X$

$18cm$

Therefore the range of the Third side is

$18cm$
