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.

A clock was reading the time accurately on Friday at noon. On Monday at 6pm the clock was running late by 468 seconds. On averag
Setler [38]

The clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.

The clock was still accurate by Friday noon. The clock was late by 468 seconds by Monday, 6 pm.

To solve the problem, we must:

Know how many 30-minutes have passed during the time period.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes = 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 24 hours × 2 × (30 minutes)

1 day = 48 × (30 minutes)

Thus, there are 48, 30-minutes in a day. On Friday, however, we start counting at noon, which is half of the day. Moreover, on Monday, the mark is only up to 6 pm, which is three-fourths of the day.

Friday = 48 × \frac{1}{2} = 24

Saturday = 48

Sunday = 48

Monday = 48 × \frac{3}{4} = 36

TOTAL = 24 + 48 + 48 + 36 = 156

Therefore, the total number of 30-minutes that have passed is 156. There were 156, 30-minutes that passed during the time period.

Divide the number of total seconds late by the number of 30-minutes passed.

That is, the number of total seconds late= 468 seconds ÷ 156

= 3 seconds  

Therefore, the clock was skipping 3 seconds every 30 minutes from Friday noon to Monday 6 pm.
