Question 1145236

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 17 ft and 27 ft. Find the possible lengths of the third side.
The third side must have a length greater than 
nothing ft and less than 
nothing ft.
<pre>With T being the 3rd side, we get: {{{matrix(1,11, Difference, between, 2, other, sides < T < Sum, of, 2, other, "sides,", "or:", 27 - 17 < T < 27 + 17)}}}
