document.write( "In triangle CDE, the side DE is 13 cm long, and the side CE is 12 cm long.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "They want you find the length of the side CD.\r\n" );

document.write( "Apply the triangle inequality.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "According to the triangle inequality,  CD is shorter than the sum  12 + 13 = 25 cm  and longer than the difference 13 - 12 = 1 cm.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The length of the side CD is longer than 1 cm and shorter than 25 cm.\r\n" );
