Question

A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 29 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 137
feet.

Answer 1

The dimensions of the triangle are 27 feet, 54 feet and 56 feet.

How to calculate the dimensions?

Let the shortest side be x.

One side is twice the length of the shortest side. This will be 2x.

The third side is 29 feet more than the length of the shortest side. This will be x + 29.

The perimeter will be illustrated as:

x + 2x + x + 29 = 137

4x = 137 - 29

Divide

4x = 108

x = 108/4.

x = 27 feet

Second side = 2x = 2 × 27 = 54 feet

Third side = x + 29 = 27 + 29 = 56 feet
