According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
In this case, if two sides of the triangle measure 3.7 and 8.2, and we want to find a possible measure of the third side, we can compare the sum of the two known sides to the unknown third side.
3.7 + 8.2 = 11.9
So, any possible measure of the third side must be less than 11.9 but greater than the difference of the two known sides. Therefore, a possible measure of the third side could be 4.5.
Two sides of a triangle measure 3.7 and 8.2. Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find a possible measure of the third side.(1 point) Responses 3.5 3.5 5.5 5.5 4.5 4.5 4.2
