Question

The longest side of a triangle is eight more units than the shortest side . The third side is three times the length of the shortest side. If the perimeter of the triangle is 33 units, write and solve equation to find the lengths of all three sides of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

shortest side= x

longest side= x+8

other side= 3x

x+x+8+3x= 33

5x+8=33

5x= 25

x= 5

shortest side= x= 5

longest side= x+8= 5+8= 13

other side= 3x= 3(5)=15
