Triangle Inequalty
a - b < c
a + b > c
6 - 5 < x
1 < x
So x = 1 * 10^(-n), as long as n is a positive real number greater than 1.
No minimum, but the lowest integer value that x works with is 2.

x>1. You can get this as close as you like. The smallest whole number value would be 2, but if you allow fractional values (and a very acute angle), this would be one mark above your measurement tolerance for the two shorter sides combined totalling more than the 6 side.

The answer would be 3.316.
Let x = be the smallest value of the side of the triangle;
Sides of the triangle can be computed using the Pythagorean Theorem which says : a squared plus b squared equals c squared.
Using this formula, x squared + 25 = 36
x squared = 36 - 25
x = square root of 11
x = 3.316

x>1
so the smallest value of x= 1.000......01
depends on where u want to round off
as long as x+5 is more than 6, it will be a triangle
Note: x=1 gives you an overlapping line ..will not form a triangle

x has to be greater than 1 otherwise 5+x wouldn't be as long as the 6 side to reach it. So, it's just over 1. x>1.

6-5=1 so x mus t be >1
