The lengths of the sides of a triangle with positive area are ,
, and
, where
is a positive integer. Find the number of possible values for
.
Solution
By the Triangle Inequality:
Also:
Combining these two inequalities:
The number of possible integer values for is the number of integers over the interval
which is
