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.

Elena’s bus runs every 20 minutes. If she arrives at her bus stop at a random time, what is the probability that she will have t
Bond [772]
We try to represent the data in segments from 0 to 20.
<span>The length of the line segment along the number line from 0 to 5 is 5 - 0 = 5 units. The length of the line segment along the number line from 20 to 5 is 20 - 5 = 15 units. If you were to randomly throw a dart on this number line, then the probability of landing in the shaded region is 15/20 = 3/4 or 75%</span>
