Finding the Maximum Length of a Triangle Side

Easy Geometry Triangles

Triangle PQR has two sides measuring 5 cm and 12 cm. The third side, PR, is what we want to find.

According to the triangle inequality theorem, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side. Determine the possible range for the length of side PR.

What is the maximum length side PR can be?
