20. 3. This problem can be written as 18 < 4x+ 10By constructing a right triangle with sidesAB,AC, and BC, we can use a Pythagorean< 34. Subtracting 10 from both sides givestriplet to solve for BC(the radius).the equation 8 < 4x< 24. Dividing by 4 willresult in the following: 2 < x< 6. Since 2 is

B

less than x, the least integer value for xis 3.
