if one length of a triangle is 30ft.

and another length is 20ft
what is the last length

1 answer

To determine the last length of the triangle, you would need additional information such as the type of triangle. In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must always be greater than the length of the remaining side. This is known as the triangle inequality theorem.

Assuming that the triangle is not degenerate or does not violate the triangle inequality theorem, the last length must be between the absolute difference and the sum of the other two lengths.

In this case, the last length would be between |30 - 20| = 10ft and 30 + 20 = 50ft. Without any further details, it is not possible to determine the exact length of the third side.
