The sides of a triangular field are 62 m, 186 m and 279 m. Find the greatest length of tape that would be able to exactly measure each of them without any fractions.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 31 m
Given that
The sides of a triangular field are 62 m, 186 m, and 279 m.
the greatest length of tape means = HCF of (62, 186 , 279)
62 = 31* 2
186 = 2 * 3 * 31
279 = 3 * 3 * 31
Hence, the greatest length of tape = 31 m
