Given the lengths of two sides of a triangle, find the range for the length of the third side (between what two numbers should the length of the third side be). Write the inequalities for each case. 11.5 and 23.6
The shortest the third side can be is the difference of the other two sides: .. 23.6 -11.5 = 12.1 The longest the third side can be is the sum of the other two sides: .. 23.6 +11.5 = 35.1
