Algebra.Com's Answer #600050 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If x is the missing third side, then\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7-6 < x < 7+6\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 < x < 13\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the third side must be between 1 and 13 units. It cannot equal 1 and it cannot equal 13.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The only answer that fits in this interval is II. 5 which is the final answer. The other values are outside of this interval. \n" ); document.write( " |
