Solution



To find
We need to determine
    • Which of the given Options describes all values of x, if there is a triangle with sides having lengths 3, 4, and x

Approach and Working out
    • x must be < 3 + 4 and
    • x must be greater than 4 – 3

Thus 1 < x < 7

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: Option D
