The sides of the triangle have lengths 9, 13, k where k is an integer. For how many values of k is the triangle obtuse?
Sum of two sides of triangle is more than third side
⇒ 9+13>k
⇒ 22>k ⇒ k<22
Difference of any two sides of triangle is less than third side
⇒ 13 - 9 < k ⇒ 4<k ⇒ k>4
⇒ 4<k<22
⇒ k=5,6,7,....., 22
Triangle is obtuse,
⇒ either 9² + 13² < k² or 9² + k² < 13²
9² + 13² < k² ⇒ k = 17, 18, 19 ...., 22
9² + k² < 13² ⇒ 4, 5, 6 ....9
Number of values possible for k are
∴6 + 5 = 11 (Answer).
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of the triangle have lengths 9, 13, k where k is an integer. For how many values of k is the triangle obtuse?
Sum of two sides of triangle is more than third side
⇒ 9+13>k
⇒ 22>k ⇒ k<22
Difference of any two sides of triangle is less than third side
⇒ 13 - 9 < k ⇒ 4<k ⇒ k>4
⇒ 4<k<22
⇒ k=5,6,7,....., 22
Triangle is obtuse,
⇒ either 9² + 13² < k² or 9² + k² < 13²
9² + 13² < k² ⇒ k = 17, 18, 19 ...., 22
9² + k² < 13² ⇒ 4, 5, 6 ....9
Number of values possible for k are
Number of values possible for k are∴6 + 5 = 11 (Answer).
