Answer 1

I can’t read the image you attached. Tell me the lengths of the other two sides (the ones next to a), or re-upload a clearer image.

Meanwhile: the rule you should use is the triangle inequality — if the other two sides are b and c then
|b − c| < a < b + c.
Give the two side lengths and I’ll fill in the correct inequality and the whole-number values for a.
