The third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides and greater than the absolute value of the difference between the other two sides.
So, the third side must be greater than 3 mm (10-7) and less than 17 mm (10+7).
Therefore, the possible length of the third side is 5 mm.
Two sides of a triangle are 10 mm and 7 mm. Determine the length of the third side from the choices given. (1 point)
