Apply the triangle inequality theorem to determine the possible whole number measures of the third side of a triangle if the first two sides measure 6 and 2. List them in ascending order
The measure of the third side could be
any whole number between 4 and 8, inclusive. This includes 5, 6, and 7.
Therefore, the possible whole number measures of the third side of the triangle in ascending order are: 5, 6, 7.
