What is the range of possible sizes for side x?


Help Quick PlesWhat Is The Range Of Possible Sizes For Side X class=

Sagot :

Answer: 0.5 < x < 16.5.

Step-by-step explanation: Two sides of triangle: 8.0 units and 8.5 units

Measure of third side = x

According to the triangle's inequality,

Sum of any two sides > third side.    (i)

Difference between the sides < third side.    (ii)

If x is the third side, then

x < 8+8.5   [Using (i)]

i.e. x< 16.5  

Also, x > 8.5-8   [Using (ii)]

i.e. x> 0.5

Hence, Range of possible sizes for side x would be 0.5 < x < 16.5.

0.5< x< 16.5 that’s the answer
