In acute angle triangles all angles in the triangle should be less than 90.

The maximum length of x can be when it is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
So, x= sqrt(12^2 + 19^2) = 22.5 (approx)

The maximum length of x can be when side of length 12 is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
So, x = sqrt (19^2 - 12^2) = 14.7(approx)

So, x>14.7 and x<22.5.

Hence, possible values for x can be 15,16,17,18,19,20,21 and 22. Total 8 values.


Answer D.
