two sides of a triangle have lengths 8 and 17. which inequalities represent the possible lengths for the third side, x? a.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, do you know how to find the third side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For this, you have to find the range for the 3rd side, with inequalities.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All of the answers A through D are ranges of side x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Side one=A, Side Two=x Side three=C in what I'm about to say.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and C has to be more than x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 8+17>x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8+17 is equal to 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Side X has to be greater than 17 minus 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17 minus 8 is 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, That's how you find the range.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17-8=9 and 8+17=25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so d! Thank you so much you are a life saver!!!
