Question 657647: How many different possible whole number values are there for x if the triangle has one side of 24, one side as 27 and the third side as x? Answer by kevwill(135) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For a triangle, we know that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
Based on that:
And
So,
The possible values for x range from 4 to 50. There are 47 whole numbers in this range, so there are 47 different possible whole number values for x.
