Two sides of a triangle are 12 and 18 cm. Complete the inequality to show the possible lengths of the third side.

Let a = 12 and b = 18 be the two given sides

Let c be the unknown third side

Due a modified form of the triangle inequality theorem, we know that,

b-a < c < b+a

18-12 < c < 18+12

6 < c < 30 which is the final answer

This says c is between 6 and 30, but cannot equal either endpoint.

hi there!

step-by-step explanation:

a roof pitch is basically for every inch rise there is 12 inches run.

the height of the roof is also known as the rafter.

formula: rafter^2 = rise^2 + run^2

rafter^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

rafter^2 = 25 + 144

rafter ^2 = 169"^2

the height of the roof from the lowest point to the highest point is 169"^2.

hope this : )

your answer is

a.
