You can put this solution on YOUR website! the lengths of 2 sides of a triangle are 9 and 5. suppose the length of the 3rd side is an integer. Give all the possible lengths for the 3rd side.
----------
Let the possible length be "x":
9-5 < x < 9+5
4 < x < 14
------------------
Try drawing the triangle with 3rd side = 15 or 3rd side = 3
and you will see why you cannot.
