Question

The perimeter of the triangle shown is 412 meters. Find the length of each side.

x meters =
meters
5x meters =
meters
(6x - 8) meters = meters
(Type integers or decimals.)

Answer 1

x meters= 35

5x meters= 175

6x - 8 = 202

Explanation:

x + 5x + (6x - 8)= 412

12x - 8= 412

12x = 412 + 8

12x = 420

x= 35

5x = 35× 5

= 175

6x - 8= 6(35) - 8

= 210 - 8

= 202
