Two sides of a triangle measure 34 and 51. Complete the inequality that indicates the possible values of the third side of the triangle using the Triangle Inequality Theorem.(1 point)

1 answer

Let x be the measure of the third side of the triangle.

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Therefore, we can write the inequality:

34 + 51 > x

Simplifying, we get:

85 > x

So, the complete inequality is:

x < 85
