A 1.8 < x < 8.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B > 8.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C < 1.8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 3.4 < x < 5.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side and difference of any two sides of a atriangle is less than the third side. Sum = 3.4 + 5.2 = 8.6 Difference = 5.2 - 3.4 = 1.8 The third side should lie int he range between 1.8 and 8.6
