The three sides of a triangle are 15, 25 and x units. Which one of the following is correct?
Correct Answer: 10< x < 40
Explanation:
In a triangle
Sum of two sides is always greater than 3rd side
i.e., x < 25 + 15 = 40 .....(i) Difference of two sides is always less than 3rd side
i.e., 25 - 15 = 10 < x ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii) , we get
10 < x < 40
