Question

a flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the lengths of the shortest side, and the third sideis 16 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions of if the perimeter is 164 feet

Answer 1

A triangle has 3 sides.
Let x be the shortest side.
X+2x+ 16+x= 164
4x= 164-16
X=148/4
X= 37 so shortest side =37
2x=37•2=74 second side =74
16+x=37+16=53 third side =53

Check 37+74+53=164 ✔️
