Given that the sides of the acute triangle are as follows:
21 cm
x cm
2x cm

Stated that 21 cm is one of the shorter sides of the triangle2x is greater than x, so it follows that 2x MUST be the longest side


For acute triangles, the longest side must be less than the sum of the 2 shorter sides
Therefore, 2x < x + 21cm
2x – x < 21cm
x < 21cm

If x < 21cm, then 2x < 42cm
Therefore, the longest possible length for the longest side is 42cm

Three of the choices are ways to express 0.50. Which is NOT?
Ganezh [65]

Option B

5 hundredths is not the way to express 0.50

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Three of the choices are ways to express 0.50

To find: wrong option

Let us first write 0.50 in different ways

<h3><em><u>To convert a Decimal to a Fraction follow these steps: </u></em></h3>

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal 1.

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. ...

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction.

\rightarrow 0.50 = \frac{0.50 \times 100}{100} = \frac{50}{100}

\frac{50}{100} means 50 hundredths

<h3>Therefore option D is correct</h3>

On simplifying \frac{50}{100} we can write,

\rightarrow \frac{50}{100} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{2} means one half

<h3>Therefore option A (one half) is correct</h3>

Similarly, \frac{5}{10} means 5 tenths

<h3>Therefore Option C is also correct</h3>

Thus the wrong option is B

<em><u>Justification:</u></em>

5 hundredths can be written as:

\frac{5}{100} = 0.05

Therefore option B is wrong
