Answer: the shortest side is 10 centimeters.
The length of each of the other sides is 10 centimeters each.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle.
Two sides of the triangle are each twice as long as the shortest side. This means that the length of the two sides would be 2x.
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of each side of the triangle.
The puzzle piece in the shape of a triangle has perimeter 25 centimeters. This means that
x + 2x + 2x = 25
5x = 25
x = 25/5
x = 5
The length of each of the two sides is
2x = 2 × 5 = 10
this triangle has 3 sides one is 12, lets call this side a²
another side is 72, lets call this side c²
this triangle must follow Pythagoras therom if it is right angled, that is a²+b²=c²
where a and b are the two shorter sides and c is the longest side (called the hypotenuse) opposite the right angle
to find the last side you do 72² - 12² = 5040
but it is the square root of 5040 which is 70.99 (two decimal places) if you want it in decimal form, if you want it in surd form it is √5040
Can u send the photo of the square?
