If the measures of two sides of a triangle are 3 feet and 7 feet, which of the following is a possible whole number measure for the third side?

A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 10

Answer 1

--5
--in a triangle the sum of any 2 sides has to greater than the 3rd side

so sides a,b,c:
a+b > c
3+7 > c
10 > c
so c has to be less than 10
the only possible answer is your case is C. 5
--It can't be 3 and it can't be 4...
so it must be 5
--I'm not too good at math, but I think you need to know which sides. Anyways, pythagorean theorem- A squared plus B squared equals C squared!
