Question 478634: One side of a triangle measures 12 inches and another side measures 15 inches. What is a possible measurement of the third side? Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if it is shorter than 3 inches, the 12 inch side can't close up with the 15 inch side
___ if it equals 3 inches, you just have 3 lines together -- no triangle
if it is more than 27 inches, the 12 and 15 aren't long enough to close the triangle
___ if it equals 27 inches, 3 lines again
