Question:
A triangle has two sides of lengths 5 and 12 what value could the length of the third party be check all apply
19
17
11
9
7
5
Answer:
The length of the third side can be 9 or 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a triangle, length of the third side must be greater than the difference of the other 2 sides and less than the sum of the other 2 sides.
Here
The sum of two sides = 5 + 12 = 17
Difference between two sides = 12 -5 = 7
Now 3rd side must be greater than 7 and less than 17
In the option only 9 and 11 satisfies the condition "greater than 7 and less than 17"
