5. 5 Use Inequalities in a Triangle Example 2 Find possible side lengths A

5. 5 Use Inequalities in a Triangle Example 2 Find possible side lengths A triangle has one side of length 14 and another of length 10. Describe the possible lengths of the third side. Solution Let x represent the length of the third side. Draw diagrams to help visualize the small and large values of x. Then use the Triangle Inequality Theorem to write and solve inequalities. Small values of x Large values of x The length of the third side must be greater than 4 and less than 24 ________________.
