The perimeter of a triangle is 42 meters. Side (a) is two less than side (b) and side (c) is triple side (b). What are the lengths of the three sides?

Respuesta :

i think i got it side A is 6.8 side B is 8.8 then side C is 26.4 hope this is right

The length of three sides of triangle is,

               [tex]a=6.8m\\\\b=8.8m\\\\c=26.4m[/tex]

Perimeter of triangle :

Perimeter is the sum of all three sides of triangle.

Let us consider that side b of triangle is x.

Given that, Side (a) is two less than side (b) and side (c) is triple side (b).

So that, sides of triangle are,

                    [tex]a=x-2\\\\b=x\\\\c=3x[/tex]

Perimeter of triangle are,

              [tex]x-2+x+3x=42\\\\5x=44\\\\x=44/5=8.8[/tex]

Side [tex]a=8.8-2=6.8m,b=x=8.8m,c=3x=3*8.8=26.4m[/tex]
