Question

What’s the answer to this please, thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:

8 < x < 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider an angle slightly less than 180 between the 4 and 12 ft sides.  The measure between the 2 end points is slightly less than the total of the two sides.  So the greatest length is 16.

Consider an angle slightly more than 0 between the 4 and 12 ft sides.  The measure between the 2 end points is slightly more than the difference between the two sides.  So the lowest length is 8.
