Answer 1

lets solve here, it'll be easier ok?

Answer 2

K, so the shortest part is a the middle part is b and the longest c right? would you be able to draw that for me to see that i have the same picture drawn

Answer 3

I guess I'm back, haha. so wanna get back to the question?

Answer 4

I read ur Q again...its kind of complicated...is it multiiple choice?

Answer 5

yep

Answer 6

OK I will give u the inequality n u check out which choice is right ok?

Answer 7

sounds good

Answer 8

look at the drawing above: a+b>c
do u understand why?

Answer 9

i actually can't see that drawing, it won't show for me still

Answer 10

Hahahaa okok so a,b,c are the 3 sides and a<b<c
do u understand why a+b>c

Answer 11

yep

Answer 12

Now 5 is the shortest so it is a but 12 can be either b or c so u need to test and see what the range is for the length of the third side

Answer 13

how would i test it?

Answer 14

would i use the a^2+b^2=c^2?

Answer 15

a=5 so the ineqality become 5+b<c and b or c can be 12

Answer 16

nope nope that is only good for triangle w a right-angle. sorry!

Answer 17

oh man this is frustrating

Answer 18

maybe b should be 12?
