Use the triangle inequality: the third side must be greater than the difference and less than the sum of the other two sides.
8.1 − 5.2 = 2.9 and 8.1 + 5.2 = 13.3
So 2.9 < N < 13.3. (If degenerate triangles allowed, 2.9 ≤ N ≤ 13.3.)
8.1 − 5.2 = 2.9 and 8.1 + 5.2 = 13.3
So 2.9 < N < 13.3. (If degenerate triangles allowed, 2.9 ≤ N ≤ 13.3.)
