To find: The range of measure of the length of third side of the triangle.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 12PPS

No a triangle will not be formed with the given side lengths.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given sides of the triangle are:

  4 and 8

Consider the inequality of triangle theorem:

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle should be greater than the third side.

Consider the third side of the triangle as x .

Check the range of x as greater than the sum of the other two sides.

  if4+8>x12>x

Consider the second side of the triangle as x .

Check the range of x as greater than the sum of the other two sides.

  if8+x>4x>4

Consider the first side of the triangle as x .

Check the range of x as greater than the sum of the other two sides.

  ifx+4>8x>4

From the above range of, find the range of x .

  4ft<x<12ft

Hence, the range of the third side of the triangle is 4ft<x<12ft .
