Question

A triangle has the length 11 and 4. What is the smallest possible whole number length for the third side?

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the sum of the first two sides is greater than the largest side.

7 + 11 > x

x is the third side.

18 > x

x < 18

The sides of the triangle are 7, 11, and 17.

The product = 7 × 17 = 119
