Here's a sketch of what the map COULD look like:
So, we are basically trying to find the length of the THIRD SIDE of a triangle.
We can apply this rule: If two sides of a triangle have lengths A and B, then . . .
DIFFERENCE between A and B < length of third side < SUM of A and B
We get: 65 - 40 < length of side AC < 65 + 40
Simplify to get: 25 < length of side AC < 105
Check the answer choices....
Only answer choice C is BETWEEN 25 and 105
Answer: C
Cheers,
Brent
