1.	Math 50 pts 2 minutes agoA quadrilateral has distinct integer sidelength. If the second largest side haslength 10 then the maximum possiblelength of the largest side is
Answer» In the above image, y is the largest side. We try to find the maximum value of each a, b, & x first. a & b each should be less than 10( as 10 is the 2nd largest) So, let's take a & b = 9 ( maximum integral value) So, x < 18 => x = 17 ( maximum integral value) & y < 10 + x => y < 10 + 17 =>y = 26( the maximum integral value)

Answer»

In the above image, y is the largest side.

We try to find the maximum value of each a, b, & x first.

a & b each should be less than 10( as 10 is the 2nd largest)

So, let's take a & b = 9 ( maximum integral value)

So, x < 18

=> x = 17 ( maximum integral value)

& y < 10 + x

=> y < 10 + 17

=>y = 26( the maximum integral value)
