Answer 1

Given :

A crafter is making a triangular flag.

She has two sides of length 24 inches and 36 inches.

To Find :

The length possibilities (in whole inches) for the third side.

Solution :

We know, the sum of two sides of any triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.

Let, third side is d.

So, d is always less than the sum of other sides i.e. ( 24 + 36 ) = 60 .

d < 60

Also, difference between the difference of length is always less than the side.

So, d > 36 - 24

d > 12

Therefore, the length possibilities for the third side is between 13 inches and 59 inches.
