If the two sides added up together is greater than the longest side, the triangle would no longer be connected. Since 8 + 12 ft still works for the longest side of the triangle, it will be considered the length of the third side.

B) 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

400 - 144 = s²

s² = 256

s = 16
