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.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

He should buy lights that are 2088 inches long

Step-by-step explanation:

Craig has a rectangle wooden deck that measures 799 inches by 245 inches.

Let us say the length, L, is 799 inches and the breadth, B, is 245 inches.

He wants to put a string of lights around the deck.

This means that he needs to buy the length of lights that would be equal to the perimeter of the rectangular deck.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given as:

P = 2(L + B)

Hence, the length of lights he should buy is:

P = 2(799 + 245) = 2(1044)

P = 2088 inches

He should buy lights that are 2088 inches long.
