Answer:
a. 7
Step-by-step explanation:
So a triangle a two sides that will always sum up to be greater than the third side.
Meaning:
a + b > c
a + c > b
b + c > a
So here, we're given a and b:
8 + 5 > c
8 + c > 5
5 + c > 8
Plug in the values:
13 > 7
15 > 5
12 > 8
These are all true, so it's probably 7.
13 > 2
10 > 5
7 > 8 This one is not true, so not 2.
13 > 13 This is not true, so not 13.
If not 13, we can't go any higher and so it can't be 15.
