A triangle has 2 sides of length 9 inches and 15 inches, then the length of the third side CANNOT be..?
A) 17 B) 15 C) 9 B) 8.7 D) 5
+2668 The triangle rule states that the sum of the 2 smallest sides must be greater than the bigger side.
Thus, \(\color{brown}\boxed{E}\) will not work, because \(9 + 5 <15\)
I hope this is correct.
It can be any of the answer choices provided.This is because they are all less than 9+15 = 24.
