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

A trough of water is 20 meters in length and its ends are in the shape of an isosceles triangle whose width is 7 meters and heig
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

a) Depth changing rate of change is 0.24m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

b) The width of the top of the water is changing at a rate of 0.17m/min, When the water is 6 meters deep

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the attachment part II, there are similar triangles, so we have the following relation between them \frac{3.5}{10} =\frac{a}{h}, then a=0.35h.

a) As we have that volume is V=\frac{1}{2} 2ahL=ahL, then V=(0.35h^{2})L, so we can derivate it \frac{dV}{dt}=2(0.35h)L\frac{dh}{dt} due to the chain rule, then we clean this expression for \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7hL}\frac{dV}{dt} and compute with the knowns \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{0.7(6m)(20m)}2m^{3}/min=0.24m/min, is the depth changing rate of change when the water is 6 meters deep.

b) As the width of the top is 2a=0.7h, we can derivate it and obtain \frac{da}{dt}=0.7\frac{dh}{dt}  =0.7*0.24m/min=0.17m/min The width of the top of the water is changing, When the water is 6 meters deep at this rate
