The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 11 cm and 14 cm. Between what two measures should the length of the third side fall?

Expert Answer:
We know that the sum of two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third.
Therefore, third side has to be less than the sum of the two sides. The third side is thus, less than 14 + 11 = 25 cm.
The side cannot be less than the difference of the two sides. Thus, the third side has to be more than 14 - 11 = 3 cm.
So, the length of the third side could be any length greater than 3 cm and less than 25 cm.

- Prove that the difference of any two sides of a triangle is less than the third side.
- Define the property for lengths of sides of the triangle. Using it, state whether a triangle is possible with sides: 10.7 cm, 5.6 cm and 3.5 cm.
- Is it possible to have a triangle with the sides having following lengths? 5 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm
- Is it possible to have a triangle with the following sides? 2 cm, 9 cm, 6 cm
