Algebra.Com's Answer #306027 by swincher4391(1107)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let a,b be the shortest two sides of a triangle, c the longest.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then this must happen \n" ); document.write( "Assume that a=4 and b = 13. \n" ); document.write( "Then \n" ); document.write( "====== \n" ); document.write( "Now assume short side 4 (call it b) and c = 13\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then \n" ); document.write( "======\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then given two sides, 4, 13, x: The possible values of x range \n" ); document.write( "between 9 and 17 (not inclusive). \n" ); document.write( " |
