Three sides of a triangle measure 6 cm, 10 cm and x cm. The minimum integral value of x is:

Solution:

Given:
one side of triangle = 6 cm
second side of triangle = 10 cm
concept used:
the difference of two other sides < x < sum of two other side
calculation:

(10 - 6) < x < (10 + 6)

⇒ 4 < x < 16

the third side of the triangle should lie between 4 and 16
∴ minimum integral value is 5 and maximum integral value is 15
Hence, the answer is 5 cm
