Two sides of a triangle are 5 centimeters and 6 centimeters. What is the range of possible lengths for the third side? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.

The range of possible values for the third side called c is;

11 > c or c < 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are concerned with giving the range of the third side of the triangle.

What we will be using to get this range is the triangle inequality theorem.

Mathematically, the sum of the length of the two sides must be greater than the length of the third side.

So let’s call the third side c

Thus, the range of values we are to work with is;

5 + 6 > c

11 > c
