Unit four triangles less than three triangle inequality theorem quiz five questions determine the length of the third side of a triangle from the choices provided if the first two side measure 10 and 12 would the answer be 22 or 30 or 15 or 24
The correct answer is 22.
According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the length of the third side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, 10 + 12 = 22, so the length of the third side cannot be 30. It must be less than 22.
