Atriangle has two sides of lengths 7 and 12. what value could the length of
the third side be? check all that apply.
a.7
b.5
c.9
d.3
e.17
f.11

A. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle sides are not defined, therefore let the base side have the 12 unit and one of the slant side be 7 unit.

Therefore height of the triangle, h can gotten from the Pythagoras theorem as thus:

7² = (12/2)² + h²

49 = 36 + h²

h² = 49 - 36 = 13

h = √13

knowing the height of the triangle, we can apply same rule to the other unknown slant side, x as thus:

x² = (12/2)² + h²

x² = 36 + 13 = 49

x = √49

x = 7
