Question

a flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 23 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 139 feet

Answer 1

Let the short side be x

One side = 2x

And the third side = x+23

x+2x+x+23=139

4x=116

x=4

The other side = 5

The third side= 27
