Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smallest possible length, this has to be one of the shorter sides. Let the length of this side be x.

So, by the triangle inequality theorem, 1+x>8, which means x>7.

So, the smallest possible whole number length is 8.

2 because once you double it, it becomes 4. Once you add 4, you get 8. When you subtract your number, which is 2, you get 6. Then when you subtract 3, you get 3. 3 is your number (2) plus 1
