The mayor of a town proposes to fence off a triangular area of a building that includes two sides of the building as shown below.Which distance, in feet could be the length of the proposed fence line?100280220130

Solution
Using triangle inequality
The triangle inequality states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the remaining side.
The fence line is the longest size
100, 130 can't be the answer
[tex]200+70=270[/tex]280 can't be the answer be ause the triangle inequality says it should be less than the sum
[tex]Z<\text{ X +Y}[/tex]Therefore, the correct answer is 220
