Question

Use the image to answer the question.



Complete the inequality so that it represents the whole-number values that side a
could be to create a triangle.
An illustration of a triangle shows an equation along the base as b equals 6 and the hypotenuse as c equals 7. The third side on the triangle is labeled as a.

<a<

Answer 1

Use the triangle inequality: |6 − 7| < a < 6 + 7 → 1 < a < 13.

Whole-number values: a = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
