Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Side A is the longest side
Side B is half of A = A/2
Side C is 8m less than A = A-8
Perimeter of traingle = A+B+C
52 = A + A/2 + A-8
Collect like terms
52+8= A+A/2+A
60 = 5/2 A
Divide 60 by the coefficient of A
60÷5/2 = A
60×2/5= A
A=24m
Substitute the value of A into the expressions for sides B and C
Side B =A/2=24/2=12m
Side C =A-8=24-8=16m
The sides of the triangle are 24m, 12m and 16m
