Question 356385: The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If a triangle has one side that is 25 cm and a second side that is 2cm less than twice the third side,what are the possible lengths for the second and third sides?
Answer by sudhanshu_kmr(1152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sides are 25, x and 2x-2
25 + x > 2x-2
=> 27 > x
and x + 2x-2 > 25
=> x > 9
so, one side x, where 9 > x > 27
and another is (2x -2)
