SOLUTION: In Triangle ABC, AB=5 feet and BC=3 FEET. Which inequality represents all possible vales for the length of AC, in feet?

Question 599524: In Triangle ABC, AB=5 feet and BC=3 FEET. Which inequality represents all possible vales for the length of AC, in feet?

The smallest that AC can be is 5-3 = 2 feet. The largest that AC can be is 5+3=8 feet.

We're excluding the boundaries because including them would mean that straight lines (instead of triangles) would be formed.

So the answer is 2 < x < 8

where x is the length of AC
