The third side of a triangle must be less than the sum of the other two sides and greater than the absolute value of the difference of the other two sides. In this case, the third side must be greater than |10-12| = 2 and less than 10 + 12 = 22.
Therefore, the length of the third side cannot be 24, 30, or 15.
The only valid option is 22.
So, the length of the third side of the triangle is 22.
Determine the length of the third side of a triangle from the choices provided if the first two sides measure 10 and 12.(1 point) Responses 24 24 22 22 30 30 15
