The measures of two sides of a triangle are 5.2 and 8.1. Determine the range of values for the third side of the triangle.(1 point).
In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
Let's call the length of the third side "x".
Therefore, we have two inequalities:
5.2 + 8.1 > x
8.1 + x > 5.2
Simplifying these inequalities, we get:
13.3 > x
x > -2.9
So, the range of values for the third side of the triangle is from -2.9 to 13.3.
