to make a triangle, the sum of two smaller sides must be greater than the third side.
\n" ); document.write( "so, if the side are 3, 8, and n, and 3 < n < 8
\n" ); document.write( "the possible values of n are 6 and 7
\n" ); document.write( "(3 + 6 > 8 and 3 + 7 > 8)
\n" ); document.write( "so, there will be 2 different triangles (triangle 1 with sides of 3,8,6 and triangle 2 with sides of 3,8,7)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
