Answer:
Largest possible value for the 3rd side can be 22.
Step-by-step explanation:
Property of sides of a triangle:
If two sides of a triangle are [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] long, then the length of third side [tex]c[/tex] must be:
[tex](a+b) > c[/tex]
i.e. the sum of two sides [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] must be greater than the third side [tex]c[/tex].
So, to find the largest possible value:
[tex]a = 8\\b= 15[/tex]
[tex]a+b=23[/tex]
Largest possible value of [tex]c[/tex] can be lesser than 23.
i.e. 22 can be the largest possible value of the third side.
