document.write( "Two sides of a triangle have lengths 11 and 18. What must be true about the length of the third side?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Ans:\r\n" );
document.write( "We know that the sum of two sides of a triangle has to be greater than the \r\n" );
document.write( "third side.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "If x is the 3rd side for this triangle,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x + 11 > 18, or x > 7\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x + 18 > 11, or x > -7 (which is always true if the 1st condition is true)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Also, 11 + 18 > x, or 29 > x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the 3rd side has to be greater than 7 and less than 29\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
