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"
