Question 356827: if 17 and 26 are the lengths of two sides of a triangle what is the range of possible values for the length of the third side? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if 17 and 26 are the lengths of two sides of a triangle what is the range of possible values for the length of the third side?
It has to be between their difference (in absolute value) and their sum.
26-17 < x < 26+17
9 < x < 43
The third side must be longer than 9 and shorter than 43.
