The third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides but greater than the difference of the other two sides.
6 + 8 = 14, so the third side must be less than 14
8 - 6 = 2, so the third side must be greater than 2
Therefore, the only valid option is 10 in.
Two sides of a triangle are 6 in and 8 in. Using the Triangle Inequality Theorem (see picture above), which amount could be the length of the third side from the choices given?
