You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For any triangle ,if the sides are a,b and c then
a + b > c
Here a = 75 , b = 20 and c = s
Thus 75 + 20 > s
95 > s
a + b > c
in this case let a = 20 , b = s and c = 75
Thus 20 + s >75
s > 75 - 20
s > 55
From the above, 55 < s < 95
s represents the possible distances between city 1 and city 2
