Triangle Inequality Theorem: One side of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two but greater than the positive difference of those two sides. Your answer looks correct except for the equality segments. Less than is just <. If the third side x could actually have value 16, there would be no triangle. The two sides of 5 and 11 (5 + 11 = 16) would collapse atop the segment with measure 16. @Reaper534
