Question

Determine the range of possible side lengths of the third side AB of Triangle ABC from greatest to least.

Answer 1

@MrNood meaning..??

Answer 2

the 3 sides of a triangle have to join up

my first sketch show the two known lines essentially joined end to end
the third line has to join the ends of those
so what is the longest it can be?

the second sketch shows the two known lines joined to almost double back on each other.
The third line has to join the other ends.
So what is the shortest it can be?

(assume the known lines are essentially making a straight line )

Answer 3

The shortest side is 8?

Answer 4

no
