Let be a, b, c be the lengths of sides of a triangle; a=4.8, b=0.23, c is a whole number. Find c.

List the sides of triangle ΔMNP in ascending order (shortest to longest) if: Chapter Reference a m∠M = 64°, m∠N = 48°

It's not clear if this is a right triangle or not. I'm going to assume its any kind of triangle. The third side c is restricted such that ...

a - b < c < a + b

4.8 - 0.23 < c < 4.8 + 0.23

4.57 < c < 5.03

If c was allowed to be any real number, then we'd have infinitely many solutions for c. However, we're told that c is a whole number. The only whole number between 4.57 and 5.03 is 5

So c = 5 is the only integer solution

Final Answer: 5
