What is the range of values of x for a triangle's third side given side measures of 8 and 15 for the other two sides?

Respuesta :

Answer: b

Step-by-step explanation:

it is right

Sum of two smaller sides of a triangle must be greater than the largest side. So, the required range value is 7 < x < 23.

Triangle:

Important information:

  • The measure of two sides of a triangle are 8 and 15.
  • The measure of third side is x.

Sum of two smaller sides of a triangle must be greater than the largest side.

If x is the largest side of the triangle, then

[tex]8+15>x[/tex]

[tex]23>x[/tex]         ...(i)

If 15 is the largest side of the triangle, then

[tex]x+8>15[/tex]

[tex]x>15-8[/tex]

[tex]x>7[/tex]            ...(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]7<x<23[/tex]

Therefore, the required range value is [tex]7<x<23[/tex].
