If a triangle has lengths of 27 m and 11 m, check all the possible lengths for the third side.?

39 ft
17 ft
35 ft
22 ft
16 ft

Respuesta :

Answer:

17 ft, 35 ft, 22 ft and 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side of a triangle cannot measure more than the sum of the other two sides, which is

27 + 11 = 38

so out of all the options the only one that is greater than 38 is the fist option: 39ft.

So all the possible lengths for the third side are:

  • 17 ft
  • 35 ft
  • 22 ft
  • 16 ft

because all of this lengths are smaller than 38 (the sum of the other 2 sides).
