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:

1. Applying the principle of original horizontality -indicates that layers were repositioned from a flat-lying orientation.

2. Magma intrudes into layers of sedimentary rock and displaces them. We can deduce that the intruded magma that crystallizes is younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers by applying the principle of crosscutting relationships.

3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you, the law of superposition-- is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other.

4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be older than the fault.

5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be younger than the sand deposits.
