aum · Answer

There should be three numbers for the lengths of three sides.  They are missing from the problem.

well thats goning to be even harder to figure out

but thanks

I am saying you may have mistyped the problem.  The first sentence does not make sense:
"A triangle has sides of and 3."

There should be two other numbers between "of" and "and".

$$\sqrt{2} $$

aum · Answer

There should be 3 numbers.

Can you post a screenshot of the question?

anonymous · Answer

is it actually correct tho???

aum · Answer

It cannot be:  $\large \sqrt{13} $

$\large ({3})^2 -  (\sqrt{2})^2 = (\sqrt{7})^2$.  So  A is fine.

$\large (\sqrt{2})^2 + (3)^2 = (\sqrt{11})^2  $.  So  B is fine.

ok thanks

aum · Answer

you are welcome.

anonymous · Answer

so its not 11 because i got 11 wrong

anonymous · Answer

its 13

aum · Answer

Oh, you misunderstood my reply above.
I was saying the side of the triangle could not be $\large \sqrt{13}$.  So that is the correct answer to the question because it asks for: "Which COULD NOT BE the length of the third side."

And I showed how the side of the triangle can be $\large \sqrt{7}$ and $\large \sqrt{11}$.  So those are not the answers to the question.
