Question

What is the range of possible sizes for side x?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6 < x < 9.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now x cannot be less than  5.6 - 4.0 = 1.6 as a triangle  could not be formed if it were.

In fact x must be greater than 1.6.

Also x must be less than the sum of the other 2 sides.

So x  must be less than 4.0 + 5.6 = 9.6.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.6 < x < 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of possible sizes for side x is 1.6 < x < 9.6.
