Algebra.Com's Answer #145569 by vleith(2983)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of any two sides of a triangle must be larger than the length of the remaining side.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1) 20 + 15 < 40. So the side cannot be 20 \n" ); document.write( "2) 30 + 15 > 40 \n" ); document.write( "15+40 > 30 \n" ); document.write( "40 + 30 > 15 \n" ); document.write( "So 30 can be an answer \n" ); document.write( "3) 40 + 40 > 15 \n" ); document.write( "15 + 40 > 40 \n" ); document.write( "So 40 can be an answer \n" ); document.write( "4) 50+40 > 15 \n" ); document.write( "40+15 > 50 \n" ); document.write( "50 + 15 > 40 \n" ); document.write( "So 50 can be an answer \n" ); document.write( " |
