Question

    Given the sides of a triangle as 3.4 cm and 5.2 cm, what

    can be the length of the third side (x) in cm?
    A 1.8 < x < 8.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B > 8.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C < 1.8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3.4 < x < 5.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side and difference of any two sides of a atriangle is less than the third side. Sum = 3.4 + 5.2 = 8.6 Difference = 5.2 - 3.4 = 1.8 The third side should lie int he range between 1.8 and 8.6
