Question

Complete the inequality so that it represents the whole-number values that side a could be to create a triangle.

C=7
b=6

<a<

Answer 1

1 < a < 7
is that correct?

Answer 2

whats the largest a can be?

Answer 3

hello

Answer 4

To create a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. Using this rule, we can write the inequality as:

a + b > C

Substituting the given values, we get:

a + 6 > 7

Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get:

a > 1

Therefore, the complete inequality is:

1 < a < 7

This means that side a can be any whole number between 1 and 7 (excluding 1 and 7) to create a triangle with sides of lengths a, b, and C.
