To help you find the value of \( x \) in the triangle with sides of lengths 7 and 3, we'll need some more context or information about how \( x \) is defined in relation to the triangle. Are you looking for the length of the third side of the triangle, a specific angle, or something else?
If \( x \) represents the length of the third side, you can use the triangle inequality theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.
Given sides \( a = 7 \) and \( b = 3 \), let's denote the unknown side as \( x \). The triangle inequality gives us three conditions:
1. \( 7 + 3 > x \) (or \( x < 10 \))
2. \( 7 + x > 3 \) (or \( x > -4 \), which is always true since side lengths are positive)
3. \( 3 + x > 7 \) (or \( x > 4 \))
From conditions 1 and 3, we find:
- \( x < 10 \)
- \( x > 4 \)
Thus, \( x \) must satisfy:
\[
4 < x < 10
\]
