By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, if two sides of a triangle have lengths of 6 and 13, what are the possible lengths of the third side?
Accepted Solution
A:
The Triangle Inequality Theorem establishes that the length of the triangle is shorter than the sum of the two lenghts of the others two sides. Then, you have:
a=6 (the lenght of a side of the triangle). b=13 (the lenght of a side of the triangle). c=x (the length of the third side).
