The solution to a compound inequality to show the possible lengths of the third side is 18 ≤ x ≤ 33

How to write and solve a compound inequality to show the possible lengths of the third side?

The given parameters are

Range = 45 to 60 inches

Sides = 9, 18 and x

The sum of the three sides is

Sum = 9 + 18 + x

Evaluate

Sum = 27 + x

Recall that

Range = 47 to 60 inches

So, we have

45 ≤ 27 + x ≤  60

Subtract through by 27

So, we have

18 ≤ x ≤ 33

Hence, the solution to a compound inequality to show the possible lengths of the third side is 18 ≤ x ≤ 33
