is It d because I 3.8 - 9.2= 5.4 9.2+3.8= 13 which makes it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the third side must be greater than difference of the two given sides and less than the sum of the two given sides

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

It's not D because 5.4 ft can't be bigger than 13 ft

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I.e |a-b| < x < (a+b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so it A?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yep
