Let the shortest side be x.  Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.

Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x  +  (x+1) + (x+2) 

This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).

Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
      or:        3x + 3         = 4x -1                 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
                                                                  3 = x - 1

x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6

The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.

A small square garden has an area of 25 square yards. How long is each side of the garden?
insens350 [35]
<h3>♫ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: // Hello There ! //  :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ♫</h3>

➷  Area = l x w

We already have the area so substitute that in:

25 = l x w

For a square, all sides have the same length

Therefore, to get the length, simply square root 25

This would give you an answer of 5 yards.

Which number is greater 20% or 0.02
mylen [45]
To compare these two values, we need them to be in the same form.  

To convert 20% into a decimal, we divide 20/100, or 0.20.  

When comparing decimals, we know that 0.2 > 0.02. 

Therefore, 20% > 0.02.  (20% is greater than 0.02)
