Answer to Problem 8PSB

  8<x<20

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  Sides of a triangle is 14,6  & x

Formula Used:

Triangle-Inequality Theorem: It states that the sum of two sides of triangle is always greater than the remaining side.

Calculation:

  x+14>6x>−8 (measure of side can't be negative)x+6>14x>8.x<14+6x<20from the above equations8<x<20

Conclusion:

Thus, Possible values for x varies between 8 to 20.
