The sides of an acute triangle are x, 35, and 37, where x is the shortest side. Find the range of possible values for x and express it as an inequality.
My textbook is crap and doesn't even teach how to do this :/

the two inequalities are x> 37-35
and x< 35+37 and since x is shortest side
x<35, x<37
so  2<x<35

OH! That makes sense now! Thank you!
