Question 918773: What is the length of the longest side
of the triangle?
2x+12
5x-9
6x-2
Answer by richard1234(7193)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Depends on the value of x. If x = 3, the triangle has sides 18, 6, 16 which satisfies the triangle inequality, so 2x+12 is longest in this case. If x is very large, the triangle inequality is still satisfied, and 6x-2 is the longest side.
