Answer:

  • a-12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Answering the first part of the question. It seems the second paragraph is of different question.

Use the triangle inequality theorem which states that any side of the triangle must be shorter than the sum of the other sides.

We have sum of given sides:

  • 8 + 5 = 13 units

The remaining side must be less than 13 units, which is a- 12 units, all the other options are greater than 13 units

Answer:

Its not 14 its 12
