Side x equals 1 m
Side x equals 1 m
Side x equals 2 m
Side x equals 2 m
Side x equals 13 m
Since in a triangle the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side, we know that side x must be less than the sum of the other two sides. Therefore, the correct response is:
Side x equals 2 m
