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?
<pre>
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.
