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 \"+a+%2B+b+%3E+c+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assume that a=4 and b = 13.
\n" ); document.write( "Then \"4%2B13+=+17+%3E+c\"
\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 \"4+%2B+b+%3E+13\"...\"b+%3E+9\"
\n" ); document.write( "======\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then given two sides, 4, 13, x: The possible values of x range \"9%3Cx%3C17\"
\n" ); document.write( "between 9 and 17 (not inclusive).
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
