One side of a triangle has length $10$, and the triangle has integer perimeter. What is the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle

Answer :

The smallest possible perimeter of the triangle is 21.

The third important property of triangles is the triangle inequality rule, which states: that the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference between the lengths of the other two sides.

so let 10 = a  

10 < b+c        

So a good integer value for b+c   would be 11

10 >  b-c        

If we let b be the bigger of the two 10 and 1  would work for b and c respectively or 7 and 4 or 6 and 5 or 6.5  4.5, etc

10 + 11 = 21.
