One side of a triangle is twice as long as a second side. The remaining side is 3 larger than the second side. The perimeter is 39m. Find the length of each side.

Answer :

Answer:

Lengths all the three sides are 9m, 18m and 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the length of the second side  to be x m

According to the question:

first side = 2x

third side = x + 3

Applying the formula of perimeter:

Perimeter = length + breadth + height

39 = 2x + x + (x + 3)

39 = 2x + x + x + 3

39 = 4x + 3

39 - 3 = 4x

4x = 36

x = [tex]\frac{36}{4}[/tex]

x = 9

length of the first side (x) = 9 m

length of the second side (2x) =2 × 9 =18 m

length of the third side (x + 3) = 9 + 3 = 12 m

∴ lengths all the three sides are 9m, 18m and 12m
