The longest possible altitude of the third altitude (if it is a positive integer) is 83.

According to statement

Let h is the length of third altitude

Let a, b, and c be the sides corresponding to the altitudes of length 12, 14, and h.

From Area of triangle

A = 1/2*B*H

Substitute the values in it

A = 1/2*a*12

a = 2A / 12 -(1)

Then

A = 1/2*b*14

b = 2A / 14 -(2)

Then

A = 1/2*c*h

c = 2A / h -(3)

Now, we will use the triangle inequalities:

  • a < b+c

2A/12 < 2A/14 + 2A/h

Solve it and get

h<84

  • b < a+c

2A/14 < 2A/12 + 2A/h

Solve it and get

h > -84

  • c < a+b

2A/h < 2A/12 + 2A/14

Solve it and get

h > 6.46

From all the three inequalities we get:

6.46<h<84

So, the longest possible altitude of the third altitude (if it is a positive integer) is 83.

babymother [125]

Answer:

The Equation is

4x+2y= 200

Then total number of candy bars is

X+Y

Step-by-step explanation:

Shelby made $200 from selling x at $4 each and y at $2 each.

Let's have in mind that x is the number of large candy bars

And y is the number of small candy bars

The equation is simple

The amount it was sold is going to be the coefficient of the numbers we don't Know...

So

Equation is

4x+2y= 200

Then total number of candy bars is

X+Y
