D.
e11 cm
ee
A
Step 1: BC < 17 + 6[Triangle Inequality Theorem.]
Step 2: BC < 23 cm
Step 3: BC > 17 - 6[In a triangle, the difference of the lengths of any two sides is less than the third side.]
Step 4: BC > 11 cm
Step 5: 11 cm < BC < 23 cm
Step 6: From the values given in the options, 14 cm lies between 11 cm and 23 cm.
Step 7: So, the length of BC is 14 cm.
