Answer:
The largest possible value for the third side is 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the first side of the triangle = 17
Second side of the triangle = 2
Let us assume the third side of the triangle = m
Now, In any given triangle:
"Sum of any two sides of a triangle is strictly greater than the third side."
⇒ Sum of first side + Sum of second side > Third Side
or, m < 17 + 2
or, m < 19
hence, the largest possible value for m = 18
