Using the law of cosines we can solve for the length of the third side:

a^2 = 11^2 + 14^2 -2*11*14*cos(65)

a^2 = 186.8336

The third side is 13.67 inches long. ( Round the answer as needed)


The answer would be less than 25 inches.

The sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than than the third side.

Since 11 + 14 = 25, the third segment must be less than 25 inches

The correct answer is less than 25 inches.
