To determine the length of the third side of the triangle, we can use the triangle inequality theorem which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.
Let's denote the length of the third side as x.
According to the triangle inequality theorem, we have:
10 + 12 > x
22 > x
Therefore, the third side of the triangle must be less than 22 units long.
Determine the length of the third side of a triangle from the choices provided if the first two sides measure 10 and 12.(1 point)
