If two sides of a triangle are 6 and 16, what is the range of the possible lengths of the third side?
If you do RSM then it gets a bit more confusing. You need to pay really close attention when it says "If we denote the third side as c, then " So basically it wants you to do exactly what oobleck did except use the letter c in the middle.
10 < c < 22
It is not 16
Not 16 its 10
16-6 < x < 16+6
rsm is really weird in terms of the way the people are and the system
thanks!
Imagine the third side is x
then its 10<x<22 simple as that
thx
thx
Hey guys Iām hate rsm and the answer is 10 and 22 i think. š
the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side.
let the third side be x
x+6 > 16 and x+16 > 6 and 6+16>x
x > 16 and x > -6 and x < 22 , well clearly x> 16 AND x > -6 ---> x > 16
so 16 < x < 22 , in words, the third side must be between 16 and 22
