A beach lifeguard wants to create the largest triangular area he can with three lengths of rope to provide beach goers with the maximum amount of space to play and swim in the water. Multiple buoys are attached to each rope in order to identify the designated swimming area. The first rope is 42 feet long, the second is 50 feet long, and the third is 107 feet long. The lifeguard can only cut one of the ropes in order to create a triangle with the largest possible perimeter. How much rope, in feet, will be remaining after the lifeguard creates the designated swimming triangle? (Note: Answer should be a whole number.)

Respuesta :

Answer: the answer is 16

Step-by-step- explanation:

Since the two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third we can take the sum of two smallest sides and add them together to equal 92. Meaning the length of the longest side MUST BE 91 feet so the amount of the remaining rope would equal to 107-91 and that’s where we get 16
