The sum of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the longest side. One side of triangle ABC measures 8 cm. The longest side of triangle ABC measures 14 cm.

If the remaining side of the triangle is represented by a, which statements about the scenario are true? Check all that apply.

The inequality a + 8 > 14 can be used to represent the situation.

The remaining side could measure 6 cm.

The remaining side must be longer than 6 cm.

The graph of the solution set on a number line would be shaded to the left.

The graph of the solution set on a number line would have an open circle at 14.

The inequality a + 8 > 14 can be used to represent the situation.

The remaining side must be longer than 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality a + 8 > 14 can be used to represent the situation, reason because the summation of the two sides should be greater and not any thing equal to or less than 14

The remaining side must be longer than 6 cm. Reason because we are already given 8, so we must look for a value when added to 8 must be greater than 14.
