Question

The first side of a triangle is 8 m shorter than the second side. The third side is 4 times as long as the first side. The perimeter is 26 m. Find the length of each side.

Answer 1

all you need to do is half base times high

Answer 2

1st side is = x-8
2nd side is = x
3rd side is = 4(x-8)
Equations - x-8+x+4(X-8)=28
x-8+x+4x-32=28
6x-40=28
6x=68
x = Does is not an equal number.hope this helps, let me know if its right?
