In the MNP triangle, MN = 1.5 cm, MP + NP = 3.6 cm, and the length of the side MP in centimeters is expressed as an integer. Find the length of the NP side.

Taking into account the condition of the problem that the length of the MP is an integer, we can assume that its length is equal to either 1, or 2, or 3.

On the other hand, in a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side, out of the three proposed options, only the number 2 is suitable.

And the NP length is 3.6 – 2 = 1.6.
