If a triangle has lengths of 27 m and 11 m, check all the possible lengths for the third side

Triangle inequality states that the length of any side of any proper triangle is less than, the sum of the other two.

Mathematically, the above law means

A + B > C

Given:

A = 27 m

B = 11 m

A + B > C

C < 27 + 11

= 38 m

• 17 ft

• 35 ft

• 22 ft

• 16 ft

All these are less than A + B (according to Triangle inequality)

Therefore, the inequality is:
