Question

Sam wants to enlarge a triangle with sides 3, 6 and 6 inches. If the shortest side of the new triangle is 13 inches, how long will the other sides be?

Answer 1

The other sides would be 16 and 16
because the difference between the initial length and expanded length is 10
the extension given was 3 and the shortest side is now 13
so 10 + 6 would be 16

Answer 2

The other sides will be 16 inches long, because 13-3=10, and 10+6=16
