Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:  The length of the third side is greater than 4 ft and less than 20 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that two sides of a triangle have lengths 8 ft and 12 ft.

We are to describe the possible lengths of the third side.

Let x ft be the length of the third side of the triangle.

We know that

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.
