By the triangle inequality, the third side x must satisfy
x + 5 > 26 → x > 21
and 5 + 26 > x → x < 31.
So x is an integer with 21 < x < 31, and the largest possible whole-number length is 30.
x + 5 > 26 → x > 21
and 5 + 26 > x → x < 31.
So x is an integer with 21 < x < 31, and the largest possible whole-number length is 30.
