Question

Given a=3 ; b=5 what are the possible measures of the third side of a triangle?

Answer 1

ok so do you know about "pythagoras" theorem?

Answer 2

^^ only applicable to right angle triangles though...

Answer 3

you can find by heron's formula... @danielle02

Answer 4

i'm a bit familiar about the pythagoras theorem..

Answer 5

what's about heron's formula

Answer 6

nope.. what is it btw?

Answer 7

i think u need to apply triangle-inequality theorem, which gives u possible lengths of third side c

Answer 8

if you apply, you would get this :
c < a + b and c > a-b
c < 3 + 5 and c > 5-3
c < 8 and c > 2

so length of third side c must be between 2 and 8

Answer 9

yaa... @ganeshie8

Answer 10

sorry for mistake...

Answer 11

thanks @ganeshie8

Answer 12

yw ! hope u figured out what u need to do. good luck ;)
