Question

A vacant city lot is being turned into a neighborhood garden. The neighbors want to fence in a triangular section of the lot and plant flowers there.

Answer 1

Explanation:

=>>. Hello mate. (◕ᴗ◕✿)

= Given :-

perimeter of traingle = 58 feet

• let the third side be. "X" feet

• longest side = (2x - 8) feet

• shorter side = (x + 2) feet

Perimeter of traingle = sum of all three sides

=> A/q. ,

( x ) + ( 2x - 8 ) + ( x + 2) = 58. ✓✓✓

x + 2x - 8 + x + 2 = 58

=>. 4x - 6 = 58

=> 4x = 58 + 6

=> 4x = 64

=>. x = 64/4

=|. x = 16 feet

• length of third side = 16 feet

• length of shorter side = 18 feet

• length of longest side = 24 feet

Hope it helps you.......
