Two sides of a triangle are 10 mm and 7 mm. Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem, determine the length of the third side from the choices given. (1 point)
5 mm
2 mm
1 mm
20 mm
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.
In this case, the sum of the lengths of the two given sides is 10 mm + 7 mm = 17 mm.
Thus, the length of the third side must be greater than 17 mm.
Therefore, the answer is not among the given choices.
