Question 683289: a triangle has sides with length 3 & 7 inches. which of the following could be the length of the third side? 6,11, 13,or 19 and why plz?

For the sides to be correct, the sum of both sides must be smaller than the proposed side. Here"
6 could NOT, because 3+7 is greater than 6.
The rest COULD, because 3+7 is less than 11,13, and 19.
Hope this helps!
