Any side x of a triangle must be greater than the difference between the lengths of the two other sides, and less than the sum of the two other sides.
Therefore, 7 < x < 17. Only 17.5 inches is outside this range.
Therefore, 7 < x < 17. Only 17.5 inches is outside this range.

This should be 12+ 3 & 12-3. So, 9<x<15.... how are you getting 7 and 17?
