The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Given sides measuring 3.7 and 8.2, we can find a possible measure for the third side by subtracting one side from the sum of the other two sides:
8.2 - 3.7 = 4.5
Therefore, a possible measure for the third side is 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 5.5 5.5 4.5 4.5 3.5 3.5 4.2 4.2
