Two sides of a triangle are 5 centimeters and 6 centimeters. What is the range of possible lengths for the third side? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of two sides must be greater than the third side

You can set up a compound inequality to solve.

6 - 5 < x < 6 + 5

1 < x < 11

x has to be between 1 and 11 NOT including 1 and 11.
