Answer:
(c) 9, 24, 26
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're familiar with Pythagorean triples, you may recognize that 10-24-26 is a doubling of the common 5-12-13 triple seen in many problems. That means the triple 9-24-26 cannot be a right triangle.
__
The "form factor" of f = a^2 +b^2 -c^2, where c is the longest side length, can signal the kind of triangle it is. f=0 indicates a right triangle (values satisfy the Pythagorean theorem). When there are a lot of numbers to try, I like to let a calculator or spreadsheet do the math. (See attached).
As indicated above, the 9-24-26 triple cannot be a right triangle. For f < 0, it will be an obtuse triangle.
The problem uses the perimeter formula. P = 2w + 2l where w is the width, and l is the length.
We know the length (l) is 3 inches longer than it's width (or l = w+3). Substitute w +3 into Perimeter equation
P = 2w + 2(w+3). That simplifies to P = 4w + 6.
Since P + 42, we have 42 = 4w +6. With some simple algebra we find that w = 9 and l = 12.
