A triangle has two sides of length 15 and 1. What is the largest possible whole-number length for the third side?

15

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditions for triangle side lengths are:

A + B > C

A + C > B

B + C > A

The reverse is true too, of course:

A < B + C

B < A + C

C < A + B

Note that it's just 'greater than', not 'greater than or equal to' ( ≥ )

With those in mind, if 15 and 1 are A and B:

15 + 1 > C

15 + C > 1

1 + C > 15

And those can be simplified to these:

C < 16

C > -14 ( can be ignored because of the next one)

C > 14

And finally:

14 < C < 16

The largest whole number that fits those requirements is 15.
