Question

The perimeter of a triangle is 34 feet. One side of the triangle is 2 times the second side. The third side is 6 feet longer than

the second side. Find the length of each side.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let 1st side of triangle be x

so,

length of given side will be x, 2x, 6+x

we know that,

perimeter of triangle = 34

x+2x+(6+x)= 34

4x+6= 34

4x = 34-6

x= 28÷4

:x= 7

2x = 7*2= 14 ft

6+x = 6+7 = 13 ft
