Answer 3

The answers that i have are
A. 20 in.
B. 17 in.
C. 2 in.
D. 1 in.

Answer 4

the 3rd side, the longest side, could be less than the sum of the 2 given sides.

or its could be greater than 8 + x > 10 where x is the 3rd side and the longest side in the triangle is 10

it just uses the rule,

in angle triangle, the sum of the measures of the shorter sides must be greater than the length of the longest side

10-8 < s < 10+8
2 < s < 18

i think 17
