PLEASE HELP!

Let a, b, and c be the length of 3 corresponding sides of the triangle. The following inequality must always be true since they form a triangle :

(This inequality says that the sum of two sides must always be greater than the other side)

Let's use this inequality for x, 1.3, and 4.1

(The reason why 1.3 is on the left side is because it is the smaller side)

Subtract both sides by 1.3

x must always be greater than 2.8. Now, let's see what value x must be always less than.

x must be always less than 5.4. Let's combine both statements for x and we get:

These are the only values of x that will make it possible for these sides to form a proper triangle.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

step-by-step explanation:

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:
