Here's a sketch of what the map COULD look like:

So, we are basically trying to find the length of the THIRD SIDE of a triangle.

We can apply this rule: If two sides of a triangle have lengths A and B, then . . .
DIFFERENCE between A and B < length of third side < SUM of A and B

We get: 65 - 40 < length of side AC < 65 + 40
Simplify to get: 25 < length of side AC < 105

Check the answer choices....
Only answer choice C is BETWEEN 25 and 105

Answer: C

Cheers,
Brent

abc all lie not on straight line so they are all present likewise triangular points
so
65+40= 105 and 65-40 ; 25
A to C will be between 105 to 25
only value 35 IMO C

We notice that since the three towns do not lie on a straight line, they form a triangle, with two sides of lengths 40 and 65 miles.

By the triangle inequality, the distance between Addington and Clearwater is no more than 65 + 40 = 105 miles and no less than 65 - 40 = 25 miles. The only choice that fits these criteria is C.

Answer: C
