the perimeter of a triangle is 59 in. The longest side is 11in. longer than the medium side, and the medium side is 3in longer than the shortest side. find the length of each side of the triangle

Sagot :

let the length of shortest side be - x
length of medium side - x +3
length of longest side - x +3 + 11
so , according to question
=> x + x +3 + x +3 + 11 = 59
=> x + x +x + 3 + 3 + 11 = 59
=> 3x = 59 - 17
=> 3 x = 42
=> x = 42/3
=> x = 14
Shortest side = x = 14
medium side = x + 3 = 14+3 = 17
longest side = x + 3 +11 = 14 + 3 + 11 = 28
