Answer 1

Answer:

10 < x < 42

==================================================

Explanation:

Given a triangle with sides a and b, the third side c is bounded by this compound inequality

b-a < c < b+a

where a < b

--------

In this case, a = 16 and b = 26, so

b-a < c < b+a

26-16 < x < 26+16

10 < x < 42

I'm using a version of the triangle inequality theorem.

This unknown third side is between 10 cm and 42 cm. The third side cannot equal 10 nor can it equal 42.
