Problem 3
In triangle \(ABC\), \(AB=1.5\), \(BC=4.5\) and angle \(B\) is obtuse. What does the Triangle Inequality tell you about possible lengths for \(AC\)? What do you know about the length of \(AC\) from the size of its opposite angle? Combine what you know about the length of \(AC\) into an inequality of the form \(\underline{\hspace{.5in}} < AC < \underline{\hspace{.5in}}\).
