A lot is in the shape of a triangle. One side is 100 ft longer than the shortest side, while the third side is 700 ft longer tha

We have the next information

x= the shortest side measure

y= the second side measure

y=x+100

z= the third side measures

z=x+700

We know also that the perimeter is 2900 ft

Therefore the equation for the perimeter of the triangle will be

$P=x+y+z$ $2900=x+x+100+x+700$

we sum like terms

$2900=3x+800$

then we isolate the x

$3x=2900-800$ $3x=2100$ $x=\frac{2100}{3}=700$

therefore

x=700ft

y=700+100=800ft

z=700+700=1400ft

The lengths of the sides of the lote are 700 ,800, and 1400 ft,
