The length of the shortest side of the triangle in discuss is; x = 20 in.

<h3>What is the length of the shortest side of the triangle as given in the task content?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the length of the shortest side can be assumed to be; x in.

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is as follows;

Perimeter = x +(x+1) + (x+2)

63 = 3x +3

60 = 3x

x = 20 in.
