Answer:
See below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the shortest side be x, then the longest side = 2x.
Also x + y = 2x + 1 where y = length of the middle side,
Simplifying:
2x - x - y = -1
x - y = -1 (A)
Also as the perimeter = 7:
x + 2x + y = 7
3x + y = 7 (B)
Adding (A) and (B):
4x + 0 = 6
x = 6/4 = 1.5
Plug x = 1.5 into equation B:
3(1.5) + y = 7
y = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5.
Answer:
So the shortest side = 1.5, middle = 2.5 and longest = 2*1.5 = 3.
Hope this helps! :) Took me a long time...

Answer:
47.6m.
Step by step solution:
Perimeter of a triangle = base + 2 . length____(1)
Area of a triangle = 1/2 . base . diagonal
108 = 1/2 . base . 15
multiplying both sides by 2:
216 = 15 . base
dividing both sides by 15:
base = 14.4m
But the diagonal divides the triangle into two
right angle triangles each with the same length (hypotenuse),base and diagonal(height).
Taking one right angle triangle:
And using pythagoras theorem;
length² = base² + diagonal ²
length² = 7.2² + 15²
Note: Base of each right angle triangle is 7.2 which would sum up to be 14.4 the base of the full triangle.
length² = 276.84
taking the square root of both sides:
length = 16.6m
Putting the values of the base and length into equation (1).
Perimeter of the triangle = 14.4 + 2 . 16.6
Note: We are dealing with the whole triangle
now hence the base is 14.4m.
Perimeter of the triangle = 14.4 + 33.2 = 47.6m.
