Two sides of a triangle have lengths 2 and 8. Which inequalities describe the values that possible lengths for the third side?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a figure.
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a line segment and let it have length = 8.
\n" ); document.write( "At one end let the end point be the center of a
\n" ); document.write( "circle with radius = 2
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "To form a triangle draw a line segment from the
\n" ); document.write( "other end point to a point on the circle.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "That latter segment is the 3rd side of the triangle
\n" ); document.write( "It's length must be greater than 8-2 and less than
\n" ); document.write( "8+2.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 6 < 3rd side < 10
