Answer:
Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is
9 inches < x < 45 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
For the above question, we have a rule, the sum of the length of any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Hence:
She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches
Let the third side = x
Hence:
a) 18 + 27 > x
45 > x
b) 18 + x > 27
x > 27 - 18
x > 9
Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is
9 inches < x < 45 inches
