Triangle sides are 3 and 4.

Quantity A
Quantity B
possible value of the third side
5


A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.



Hi, I'm confused :cry, when to use Pythagorean theorem in comparison question. For example:
can we go ahead and test these values to proof it's a right angle so the answer is C or the answer is D because we don't know it's a right triangle unless it's given?

PS: the length of the third must be less than the sum of the other two sides

and greater than the subtraction of the other two sides.

In the ques we have possible values -

4-3 < length of third side < 4+3

i.e 1 < length of third side < 7

Hence option is D

Thank you for your feedback, I wasn't aware of these rules. I'll make sure to follow it in the future.
Can I conclude from your answer is that if it's not stated or implied that the triangle is right triangle I have to follow triangle inequality theorem? difference<length<sum

it's a properties of triangle not a formula, this will give you no. of possible sides. You can use this properties to find if a triangle is possible or not
