Damaris cut three strips of paper to use as the three sides of a triangle. The first two strips are 6 inches and 9 inches long, respectively. Which length could be the length of the third side of Damaris’s triangle?

Respuesta :

Using triangle concepts, it is found that the length of the third side of Damaris’s triangle could be any value greater than 3 inches and less than 15 inches.

In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of the two smaller sides has to be greater than the length of the greater side.

Considering 6 inches and 9 inches the smallest sides:

[tex]x < 6 + 9[/tex]

[tex]x < 15[/tex]

Considering 9 inches as the greater side:

[tex]x + 6 > 9[/tex]

[tex]x > 9 - 6[/tex]

[tex]x > 3[/tex]

The length of the third side of Damaris’s triangle could be any value greater than 3 inches and less than 15 inches.
