two sides of a triangle have lengths of 18 and 29 units
if the third side has an integer length, what is the positive difference between the max and min length of the third side ?
------
maximum length is < 18+29 = 47 ; integer value = 46
minimum length is > 29-18 = 11 ; integer value = 12
Difference = 34
