we can set this number as the variable x
0.32 x = 8
÷0.32 ÷0.32
x = 8
therefore the number is 8

Answer:
The distance is 5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distance formula to find the distance.
let the short side = x
Long side = 3x
Middle side = 3x -3
x + 3x + 3x -3 = 32
Simplify:
7x -3 = 32
Add 3 to both sides:
7x = 25
Divide both sides by 7:
X = 5
answer: shortest side = 5cm
