A triangle has two sides that measure 5 cm and 7 cm. Which of the following CANNOT be the measure of the third side. which one cannot be measured 3 cm 5 cm 7 cm 12 cm

It is known that the sum of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side, so,

thirdside<5+7

thirdside<12

And,

thirdside>7−5

thirdside>2

Therefore, 2<thirdside<12.

Hence, the third side of the triangle falls between (2,12).

12cm cannot be the measure of the third side

Step-by-step explanation:

5 cm + 7 cm = 12 cm

so, the third side < 12 cm

7 cm - 5 cm = 2 cm

the third side > 2 cm

the sum of the two sides in a triangle are greater than the third side.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
