Answer:

[tex]3 > b[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]a = 1[/tex]

[tex]c = 2[/tex]

Required

Inequality to measure the length of b

The triangle inequality theorem states that:

[tex]a + b > c[/tex]

[tex]a + c > b[/tex]

[tex]b + c > a[/tex]

On side b, we make use of:

[tex]a + c > b[/tex]

Substitute values for a ad c

[tex]1 + 2 > b[/tex]

[tex]3 > b[/tex]

The inequality is: [tex]3 > b[/tex]
