  3.4 < x < 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the third side of a triangle is always between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

Here, the difference is 5.3 -1.9 = 3.4; the sum is 5.3 +1.9 = 7.2. So the length of the third side must satisfy ...

  3.4 < x < 7.2

Additional comment

The difference in side lengths is what you get when the shorter side is folded over the longer one. The excess of the longer over the shorter is the difference. If the triangle is to have non-zero area, the third side must be longer than that.

The sum of side lengths is what you bet when the two given sides are laid end-to-end. If the triangle is to have non-zero area, the third side must be shorter than that.

These statements are variations on the "triangle inequality", which states that the sum of any two sides must exceed the third. (That will always be the case if the sum of the shortest two sides exceeds the longest.)

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
