In the triangle shown, n is a positive integer, and \(\angle A > \angle B > \angle C\). How many possible values of n are there?
Answer: \(\frac{8}{3}
Explanation:
The largest angle's opposite side is the largest length of the triangle.
So \(2n+12>2n+7>3n-3\).
Take the last two inequalities and get \(n<10\)
Additionally, we can apply the triangle inequality and get \(2n+7+3n-3>2n+12\)
Solve to get \(3n>8\), and n>8/3.
So \(\frac{8}{3} .
You are very welcome!
