SOLUTION

A triangle has three sides. The sides of this triangle are 7 inches, 5inches and the unknown side.

Let the unknown side be x inches.

Perimeter is distance around a plane shape.

The perimeter of this triangle is 19,

$\begin{gathered} \text{ That is the perimeter 1}9=7+5+x \\ 19\text{ = 12 }+x \\ x\text{ = 19 - 12 } \\ x\text{ = 7 inches } \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the other side is 7 inches
