Question

A triangle has sides measuring 5 inches and 8 inches. If x represents the length in inches of the third side, which inequality gives the range of possible values for x?

A. 3 ≤ x ≤ 13
B. 5 < x < 8
C. 5 ≤ x ≤ 8
D. 3 < x < 13

Answer 1

So x must be less than the sum of the 2 sides so less than 5+8 and greater than the difference of the two sides of 8-5. so 3<x<13

Answer 2

thank you :)
