19. (4 points) A triangular stage is to be built for a school event. Side AC is 45 ft, and side AB is 60 ft. What could be the length of the side BC of the stage?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. All angles of the triangle must add up to 180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60-45<BC<60+45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is that equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to spicify one angle at least in the triangle ... unless of that ... GT answered you ... regards :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said what could be not what is ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well.....the sides of the triangle given are enough to answer the question. Let me help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question is asking what "could" be the length of the third side. In a triangle, any side length has to satisfy two conditions: 1) It cannot be equal to or less than the difference of the other two sides 2) It cannot be equal to or greater than the sum of the other two sides. So, in this case, the 3rd side "could" be anything more than 15 or anything less than 105.
