Let c = missing side of the triangle
The value of c is unknown and it is impossible to determine what it is. However, we can figure out the range that c can be.
The value of c must be larger than 22-14 = 8
AND
the value of c must be smaller than 22+14 = 36
So put together, we know
The third side can be any value between 8 and 36 (excluding 8; excluding 36). For instance, the third side could be 20.
