The measure which could be the value of x in centimeters is 6 cm
- The sum of side lengths of any two sides in a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Given:
Side length A = 2 cm
Side length B = 8 cm
Sum of the two sides = 2 cm + 8 cm
= 10 cm
Third side must not be less than difference of the two sides
Difference of the two sides = 8 cm - 2 cm
= 6 cm
Therefore, the third side should be greater than difference of the two side length (6 cm) and less than sum of the two side length(10 cm)
- From the given options, 9 cm is greater than 6cm and less than 10 cm.
The measure which could be the value of x in centimeters is 6 cm
