Which of the following describes the possible range of values of y?
A. \(9 < y < 11\)
B. \(5 < y < 11\)
C. \(9 < y < 15\)
D. \(5 < y < 15\)
E. \(10 < y < 20\)
Note: sum of the 2 sides of a triangle is greater than the value of 3rd side.
so,
y-4 +5 > 11
y > 10
and
y-4 < 11+5
y< 20.
Combining the inequality:
10<y<20.
The best answer is E.
