Question

I give out medals to who ever helps me!

The figure below shows a triangular garden.

A triangle ABC is shown. Length of BC equals 30 feet and length of AB equals 14 feet.

What could be the length of the side AC of the garden?

14 feet

24 feet

45 feet

10 feet

Answer 1

This relates ti the Triangle Inequality rule.
The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third, otherwise the triangle won't close.
So, let's do this answer by answer.

Answer 2

A won't work, since 14+14<30
C won't work, since 30+14<45
D won't work, since 10+14<30

That leaves B as the answer. To check,
14+24>30 good
24+30>14 good
30+14>24 good!
it's all good.
