The last side must be LESS THAN 12+17=29.

Which of your options is LESS THAN AND greater than 29 ?

Answer by richwmiller(17219)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side.
12+17=29
34-29=5 no 12+5=17
40-29=11
50-29=21
57-28=29 no 29=29
58-29=29 no 29=29
60-29=31 no 29<31
