Question 1040853: Let x ,3 and 6 be the lengths of three sides of a triangle.How many such triangles are possible with x being a positive integer?
Answer by robertb(5830)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The lengths of the sides are x, 3 and 6.
By applying the triangle inequality twice, you would get the inequality
9> x > 3.
Since x is a positive integer, the possible values are 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Hence there are five possible triangles that can be formed.
