    D. greater than 8 cm and less than 70 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Length of one side = 39 cm

    Length of other side = 31 cm

    We need to find the length of third side.

    Solution:

    to find the length of third side we will use triangle Inequality property which states that;

    "The length of the third side should be less than sum of the other two side."

    Also;

    "The length of the third side should be greater than difference of the other two sides."

    Now Sum of 2 sides of triangle = 39 + 31 = 70 cm

    Also Difference of 2 side of triangle = 39 - 31 = 8 cm

    Hence The length of the third side should be greater than 8 cm and less than 70 cm.
