The difference between the two possible  lengths of the third side of the triangle is:

                            3.2 inches

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches.

This means that the third side could be the hypotenuse of the triangle or it could be a leg of a triangle with hypotenuse as: 8 inches.

Let the third side be denoted by c.

Then by using the Pythagorean Theorem we have:

Hence, the difference between the two possible lengths of the third side is:
