a triangle has a side length of 3/4 inch and a side length of 3 inches whats the third side
To find the third side of the triangle, we can use the triangle inequality theorem which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Let the unknown third side be x inches. According to the triangle inequality theorem:
(3/4) + 3 > x
(3/4) + x > 3
3 + x > (3/4)
From the first inequality, we have:
3.75 > x
From the second inequality, we have:
(3/4) + x > 3
x > 3 - (3/4)
x > 2.25
Therefore, the third side must be between 2.25 inches and 3.75 inches.
