Answer 2

hello,
Hold on while I try to explain this.

Answer 3

Answer 4

computer is slow....

Answer 5

@Missiey can you help

Answer 6

it sounds like the "box" has only 3 sides... a triangle.

the third side of a triangle has to be shorter than the sum of the other two sides and bigger than the difference of the other two sides.

can you figure out the longest n can be? and the shortest n can be ?

Answer 7

the answer would be
n = less than 15 and more than 3

Answer 8

nope Side 1 is 9 and side 2 is 6 so 9-6 =? and 9+6=?

Answer 9

9-6=3 and 9+6= 15
so less than 15 and more than 3

Answer 10

Yes!

Answer 11

so it was right because that is exactly what i said at first

Answer 12

that means the third side (n) has to be between those two numbers. Can you write that down ? example 3 < n is part of the answer
