In quadrilateral ABCD, we have AB = 3, BC = 6, CD = 4, and DA = 4.
If the length of diagonal AC is an integer, what are all the possible values for AC? Explain your answer in complete sentences.

 

 

Hint(s):

Draw a picture!

Apply the triangle inequality. There is more than one triangle to think about

That first answer is not correct.

 

Have you drawn the pic?

In any triangle the sum of any 2 sides must be bigger than the third side.

This is what you must use to figure it out.
