Question

Given a triangle with sides of 7, 9 and x, which of the following describes the range of values for the third side of the triangle? x < 7 or x > 9 x > 2
x < 16 2 < x < 16 [HELP]

Answer 1

in order to create a triangle with those sides, the 3rd side would have to be bigger than 9-7, and less then 9+7

Answer 2

so would the answer be x < 7 or x<9?

Answer 3

no, the answer is: the 3rd side would have to be bigger than 9-7, and less then 9+7

Answer 4

let x be the length of the 3rd side:

let bigger than be notated as >, and let lesser than be notated as <

x > 9-7 , x < 9+7

Answer 5

x < 7 or x > 9, x > 2,
x < 16, 2 < x < 16
those are my answer choices tho..

Answer 6

Answer 7

i dont know to be honest -.- i got lost lol sorry i really struggl wih math..

Answer 8

i dont believe i have to add or subtract for you

x > 9-7 , x < 9+7

this will give us a range for the value of x

Answer 9

what is the range?

Answer 10

wait jk is the answer x > 2 x < 16?

Answer 11

yes :)

or more righter: 2 < x < 16

Answer 12
