<PRE><B>Question 824095</B>
Let x = length of the third side


The third side is always larger than the difference of the two other sides, so 


x &gt; 27 - 15


x &gt; 12


AND


The third side is always smaller than the sum of the two other sides, so 


x &lt; 27 + 15


x &lt; 42


-------------------------------------------------------


Put the two together to get...


x &gt; 12 AND x &lt; 42


12 &lt; x AND x &lt; 42


&lt;font color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;12 &lt; x &lt; 42&lt;/font&gt;


This means that the third side is between 12 yards and 42 yards (but not equal to 12 or not equal to 42)
