Special Right Triangles, Pythagorean Theorem

Two sides of a triangle are 11 centimeters and 14 centimeters. What are all possible values for the length x of the third side? 
Hint: What is the longest x could be if these were the shortest two sides?
Hint: What is the minimum length x would have to be if x was the shortest side?

• 3 < x < 25
• x < 5 and x> 14
• 4 < x < 26
• x < 3 and x > 25
