Question

One side of a triangle is twice as long as a second side. The third

Answer 1

Answer:

The longest possible values of the other two sides are 7 ft  and 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one side of the triangle be x and the other, 2x

Perimeter of a triangle = sum of all sides; i.e x+2x+33

Therefore, x+2x+12=33

Solve for x;

3x=33-12

3x=21

Divide both sides by 3; x=21/3

therefore, x=7 and

2x= (2*7) = 14

The longest possible values of the other two sides are 7 ft  and 14 ft
