Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:d) The possible value of n can be expressed as 15 < n < 25.Step-by-step explanation:Here, the given sides of the triangle are:First Side = 20 cmSecond Side = 5 cmThird side = n cmNow ,as we know " SUM OF ANY TWO SIDES OF A TRIANGLE IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN THE THIRD SIDE"⇒ Length of ( First + Second ) side > Third Sideor,( 20 cm + 5 cm ) > n cmor, n < 25 cmNow, from all given options, 15 < n < 25 is the MOST APPROPRIATE.Hence, the possible value of n can be expressed as 15 < n < 25.
