the way to solve these types of problems is to put two of the legs together (see diagram) and then imagine pivoting one of them such that you start with an angle of 180 degrees between the two lines and slowly decrease it to zero.
so the maximum length of the 3rd side would be 415+770, and the minimum length of the 3rd side would be 770-415.
