Respuesta :

Each side has to be less then the sum of the other two sides.
A, B, C, and E work.

Answer:

[tex]8,5,10,13[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----->  the length of the third side

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

so

case A)

[tex]7+9 >x\\16> x\\x<16\ units[/tex]

case B)

[tex]7+x >9\\x>9-7\\ x>2\ units[/tex]

The solution for the length of the third side is the interval------> [tex](2,16)[/tex]

All real numbers greater than [tex]2[/tex] and less than [tex]16[/tex]

therefore

the solutions are

[tex]8,5,10,13[/tex]
