Two sides of a triangle measure 3.7 and 8.2. Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find a possible measure of the third side.(1 point) Responses 5.5 5.5 4.5 4.5 3.5 3.5 4.2 4.2
The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Given sides measuring 3.7 and 8.2, we can find a possible measure for the third side by subtracting one side from the sum of the other two sides:
8.2 - 3.7 = 4.5
Therefore, a possible measure for the third side is 4.5.
