To find the possible lengths of the third side of a triangle when the lengths of the other two sides are given as 6 cm and 8 cm, we can use the triangle inequality theorem. This theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. **Step 1: Determine the upper limit for the third side.** According to the triangle inequality theorem, the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides. - The lengths of the two sides are 6 cm and 8 cm. - Therefore, the sum of these two sides is: \[ ...
