Question

A triangle has sides with links that are consecutive odds intergers .The perimeter of the triangle is a hunt is 144 cm what's the largest side of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

50cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sides are consecutive odd integers,

Let the smallest side=y

The other sides are y+2 and y+4

The perimeter=144cm

y+y+2+y+4=144

3y+6=144

3y=144-6

3y=138

y=138/3=46cm

Therefore, the largest side of the triangle:

y+4=46+4=50cm

Therefore, the largest side of the triangle is 50cm
