Can someone please help me???
Determine the length of the third side of a triangle from the choices provided if the first two sides measure 10 and 12. (1 point)
30
24
15
22
1. 15
2. 5cm
3. 9
4. 2, 7, 6
5. 5.5
this was a while ago, and idk if you still need the answers, but im posting mine anyways
@gaming_kat is right! got 100%
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
15
thx
Are this correct?
@gaming_kat are these correct
To determine the length of the third side of a triangle, we can use the Triangle Inequality Theorem. According to this theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
In this case, we have two sides measuring 10 and 12. So, let's consider the three possible scenarios for the length of the third side:
1) Third side length > 12:
If the third side were greater than 12, the sum of the first two sides (10 + 12) would be less than the length of the third side. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
2) Third side length < 12:
If the third side were less than 12, the sum of the first two sides (10 + 12) would be greater than the length of the third side. Therefore, this option can also be eliminated.
3) Third side length = 12:
If the third side were equal to 12, the sum of the first two sides (10 + 12) would be exactly equal to the length of the third side. This is the only viable option, satisfying the Triangle Inequality Theorem.
Therefore, from the given choices, the length of the third side should be 12.
