How many friends are there
12 boys. 7 * 3 is 21. 21 girls. 4*3 is 12. 12 boys 21 girls
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:
2A/12 < 2A/14 + 2A/h
Solve it and get
h<84
2A/14 < 2A/12 + 2A/h
Solve it and get
h > -84
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.
