In two or more complete sentences, explain the theorem used in solving for the range of possible lengths of the third side, ab of abc

(they said the right angle was wrong since it doesnt have a right angle square)

Triangle Inequality Theorem

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

In the triangle ABC of the figure

Applying  the Triangle Inequality Theorem

1) First case

solve for x

Combine like terms left side

Rewrite

2) Second case

solve for x

subtract 8 both sides

therefore

The range of possible lengths of the third side AB is the interval (2,18)

All real numbers greater than 2 units and less than 18 units

ian gonna lie that is way to much
