The measure (in inches) of the triangle RIO are equivilant to the three consecutive odd integers. The perimeter is 201 inches. Which of the following statements are correct? Select all that apply.

Respuesta :


In the internet search it was not possible to find the exact question, however the calculation of the sides of the triangle is the fundamental part of the problem

Let
x-----------------> the first odd integer
x+2------------- > the second odd integer
x+4------------- > the third odd integer

we know that 
perimeter P=201 inches
P=(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=3x+6
then
201=3x+6-------------- > x=(201-6)/3=65
x=65 in

therefore 
the 
three sides of triangle RIO are
x--------> 65 in
x+2------> 65+2=67 in
x+4------> 65+4=69 in

the answer is 65 in, 67 in and 69 in
