The length of the third side of a triangle must be greater than the difference of the other two sides but less than the sum of the other two sides.
10 + 12 = 22
12 - 10 = 2
Therefore, the possible range for the third side is 2 < x < 22.
From the answer choices provided, the only length that falls within this range is 15.
Therefore, the length of the third side of the triangle is 15.
Determine the length of the third side of a triangle from the choices provided if the first two sides measure 10 and 12 answer choices. 15,22,30,24
