Question 1084099: a manufacturer wants to design a pin in the shape of a triangle . one side is 5 mm long and another side is 12 mm long . what is the range in the length , x, in mm of the third side of the pin Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The third side has to be greater than the difference between 5 and 12, so greater than 7
It has to be less than the sum of the two sides, so that is less than 17
The range is (7, 17)
