Two sides of a triangle are 10 mm and 7 mm. Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem, determine the length of the third side from the choices given. (1 point)

Question

5 mm

2 mm

1 mm

20 mm

Answer 1

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

In this case, the sum of the lengths of the two given sides is 10 mm + 7 mm = 17 mm.

Thus, the length of the third side must be greater than 17 mm.

Therefore, the answer is not among the given choices.
