The sum of the two shorter sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the longest side. One side of triangle ABC measures 8 cm. The longest side of triangle ABC measures 14 cm. If the remaining side of the triangle is represented by a, which statements about the scenario are true?

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The sum of the two shorter sides of a Triangle must be greater than the length of the longest side. one side of the triangle

ABC measures 8 cm. The longest side of triangle ABC measures 14 cm

if the remaining side of the triangle is represented by a, which statements about the scenario are true

apply

The inequality a + 8 > 14 can be used to represent the situation

The remaining side could measure 6 cm

The remaining side must be longer than 6 cm

The graph of the solution set on a number line would be shaded to the left

The graph of the solution set on a number line would have an open circle at 14

The inequality a + 8 > 14 can be used to represent the situation

The remaining side must be longer than 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality shown in the answer section represents the problem.

Since the sum of the other two sides of length acm and 8cm respectively must be greater than the length be of the longest side 14cm, the statement holds true as written in the answer.

If we solve the inequality, then a must be greater than 6 cm because

a + 8 > 14

a> 14 - 8

a> 6 cm

there is no grid
