Answer:

The correct answer is - 20.

Explanation:

According to the triangle inequality theorem states that the largest and smallest value of the third side of the triangle can be found with the other two sides. The lowest value would be more than the difference of the other two sides and the largest value would be less than the sum of the other two sides of the triangle.

In this case, the other two sides are - 9 and 12

suppose the third side is - x

Then according to the triangle inequality theorem, the largest value of x would be:

x< 12+9

x< 21

so the x would be less than the 21 which is - 20.

Answer:

Beyond the Atmospheres that surrounds Earth, there are seven other planets. All planets in our Solar system revolve, or make rotation around the sun. All the planets get energy from the sun. The features of planets differ in some ways. For example, the surface of Mars is solid and rocky, but Saturn is gaseous. There are also differences in size, or measurement .

Water on Mars exists today almost entirely as ice, though it also exists in small quantities as vapor in the atmosphere and occasionally as low-volume liquid brines in shallow Martian soil. The only place where water ice is visible at the surface is at the north polar ice cap.
