Question

two side lengths of a triangle are 15 and 23. find the range of possible lengths for the third side.

(15 + 23 =)

(23 - 15 =)

write the range of values as an inequality with no spaces. use lowercase x as your variable.

Explanation:

Calculate the sum of the two given sides

$$ 15 + 23 = 38 $$

Calculate the difference of the two given sides

$$ 23 - 15 = 8 $$

Determine the range of the third side

$$ 8 < x < 38 $$

Answer:

Two side lengths of a triangle are 15 and 23. Find the range of possible lengths for the third side.

\(15 + 23 =\) <blank>38</blank>

\(23 - 15 =\) <blank>8</blank>
