Question 392278


the {{{3rd}}} side {{{can't}}} be any more {{{than}}}{{{ to}}}{{{ sum }}}of the two sides. 

And it {{{can't }}}be {{{any }}}{{{smaller }}}than the {{{difference}}} of the two sides. 

That's because the two shorter sides {{{always}}} have to add up to more than the longest side.

{{{ab < 2 + 5}}}

{{{ab > 2 - 5}}}

Let's compute each of those:

{{{15/4 + 1/2}}}

={{{7}}}

{{{2- 5}}}

= {{{-3}}}


Answer:

{{{-3 < ab < 7}}}
