Answer:

The best inequality describes the possible length of EG is 32 < EG < 56 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

In any triangle

  • The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side
  • The length of any side is greater than the difference between the lengths of  the other two sides

In Δ EFG

∵ EF = 44 cm

∵ FG = 12 cm

→ Find their sum and difference

∴ The sum of their length = 44 + 12 = 56 cm

∴ The difference between their length = 44 - 12 = 32 cm

→ By using the rule above

∵ EG is the third side

∴ EG < 56

∴ EG > 32

→ Write them in one inequality

∴ 32 < EG < 56

∴ The best inequality describes the possible length of EG is 32 < EG < 56
