Step-by-Step Explanation:
Given
2 sides of a triangle
1. 22 and 15
2. 13.2 and 6.7
3. 34 and 12
4. 23 and 44
Required
Determine the range of the third side in the above triangles
Triangle 1: 22 and 15
Represent the third side with x
We'll make use of the following conditions to calculate the range of the third side;
Solving
Make x the subject of formula
Solving
Solving
Make x the subject of formula
The next step is to dismiss the inequality with negative digit; So, we're left with
and
Rewrite both inequalities
and
Combine the two inequalities
