Answer :

Answer: [tex]11<x<59[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The side of the triangle are [tex]24\ \text{and }35[/tex]

Suppose the third side is [tex]x[/tex]

Also, the sum of the two sides of the triangle is always greater than the third

[tex]\therefore x<24+35\\\Rightarrow x<59\quad \ldots(i)[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]\Rightarrow x+35>24\\\Rightarrow x>-11[/tex]

Also,

[tex]\Rightarrow x+24>35\\\Rightarrow x>11\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]

From (i) and (ii) we get

[tex]\Rightarrow 11<x<59[/tex]
