Is the perimeter of triangle ABC greater than 20?

(D)
(1) BC-AC=10.
(2) The area of the triangle is 20.
Let's assume the perimeter is 20. The largest area with given perimeter will have the equilateral triangle, so
side=20/3. Let's calculate the area and if the area will be less than 20 it'll mean that perimeter must be more than 20.

Perfect square is a normal square such as 6*2= 36


A perfect square ALWAYS has an ODD number of Odd-factors, and EVEN number of Even-factors. For instance odd
factors of 36 are 1, 3 and 9 (3 odd factor) and even factors are 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 36 (6 even factors).
A distinct factor is a different factor. For example, the factor pairs of 16 are 1 x 16, 2 x 8, and 4 x 4. The district
factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
Total number of factors of 450 including 1 and 450 itself is factors.

Is the positive integer N a perfect square?


(1) The number of distinct factors of N is even.
(2) The sum of all distinct factors of N is even.
In any perfect square, the number of odd factors must be odd because we consider the factor 1- there is at least 1 odd
factor of any number-, and the number of even factors must be even because the number of even factors is even. So
in a perfect square the number of distinct factors is odd and sum of distinct factors is also odd.

If n is an integer >1, is 3^n-2^n divisible by 35?

2) n is divisible by 18.

So if the powers of integers are even and same, difference between integers is divisible to sum of the numbers.
