Algebra.Com's Answer #379031 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The smallest that AC can be is 5-3 = 2 feet. The largest that AC can be is 5+3=8 feet.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We're excluding the boundaries because including them would mean that straight lines (instead of triangles) would be formed.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is 2 < x < 8\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where x is the length of AC \n" ); document.write( " |
