A triangle has two sides of 8 and 15. What is the largest possible whole number length for the third side?

Largest possible value for the 3rd side can be 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Property of sides of a triangle:

If two sides of a triangle are and long, then the length of third side must be:

i.e. the sum of two sides and must be greater than the third side .

So, to find the largest possible value:

Largest possible value of can be lesser than 23.

i.e. 22 can be the largest possible value of the third side.

a - base

b - exponent

so,
