Question

The numerical value of the product of the sides of a
triangle is 512 units. Find the minimum possible
perimeter of the triangle (in units).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. ....(1)

Here the perimeter of the triangle is 14 units.

Let divide 14 into 3 parts, so that a+b+c=14, when a,b and c are integers.

To comply with (1), the sum of any two of a,b or c should be greater than

2

14

=7.

Such possible combinations are

(i) 2+6+6

(ii) 3+5+6

(iii) 4+5+5

(iv) 4+6+4

No other combination is possible.

So, number of distinct triangles are 4.
