See image for naming of the sides: the medians are

ab, bc, and ac; and sides are a, b, and c

Pick one median, say, ab. The following are true:

ab < a

ab < b

->

ab + ab < a + b

ab < 0.5*(a+b)     | add 0.5*c to the right hand side (does not change inequality)

ab < 0.5(a+b+c) = half perimeter

so ab < half perimeter

Same argument for bc, and ac holds.

Un mester popular a confectionat intru-n an 480 de fluiere,ocarine si viori.Cate instrumente de fiecare fel a confectionat meste
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

138 fluiere, 158 ocarine, 184 viori

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

(1) fluiere + ocarine +viori = 480

(2) fluiere + ocarine =296

(3) ocarine + viori =342

din ecuatia (3) avem: viori= 342-ocarine

din ecuatia(2) avem : fluiere= 296-ocarine

in ecuatia (1) inlocuieste ce ai gasit ca sa fie o ecuatie doar cu necunoscuta ocarine: fluiere + ocarine +viori = 480

296-ocarine +ocarine+ 342-ocarine  =480

296+342-480 = ocarine =158

viori = 342-158 = 184

fluiere = 296-158 = 138
