Two sides of a triangle are of length 3 cm and 8 cm. If the length of the third side is 'x' cm, then:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Two sides of the triangle are 3 cm and 8 cm respectively
We know that,
Sum of length of two sides is greater than the third side in a triangle
Let the third side be 'm' cm
Now for 1st condition
3 + m > 8
= m > 5
For condition 2nd
3 + 8 > m
= m < 11
Values of 'm' concluded
= 5 < m < 11
