Question 392278: Two sides of a triangle have lengths 2 and 5. Find all possible integral values that could represent the length of the third side. Found 2 solutions by ewatrrr, MathLover1:Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
the length of 3rd side must be less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides
2 + 5 = 7
integral values that could represent the length of the third side would be:
integral values < 7

the side be any more of the two sides.
And it be than the of the two sides.
That's because the two shorter sides have to add up to more than the longest side.
Let's compute each of those:
=
=
