We can use the triangle inequality theorem to determine the possible lengths of the third side. According to the theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Given that two sides are 10 mm and 7 mm, the third side must satisfy the following inequality:
5 < x < 17
Of the given choices, only 5 mm falls within this range. Therefore, the length of the third side must be 5 mm.
Two sides of a triangle are 10 mm and 7 mm. Determine the length of the third side from the choices given.(1 point) Responses 20 mm 20 mm 2 mm 2 mm 1 mm 1 mm 5 mm
