Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle has two sides of length 17 and 19. What is the smallest possible whole-number length for the third side?
To solve for the above question, a rule applies.
The rule states that:
The sum of any 2 sides must be greater than than the third side.
The possible values for the third side are
19 - 17 < x < 19 + 17( x is the third side )
2 < x < 36
Thus the smallest possible whole number is 3
