Question 40234: A pie-shaped (triangular) lake-front lot has a perimeter of 1000 ft. One side is 100 ft longer than the shortest side, while the third side is 300 ft longer than the shortest side. Find the lengths of all three sides.

Let x = shortest side.
x+100= another side.
x+300= the third side

All sides = 1000
(x)+(x+100)+(x+300)=1000
Remove parentheses.
x+x+100+x+300=1000
3x +400 =1000
3x = 1000-400= 600
x =600/3= 200 feet
x+100 = 300 feet
x+300 = 500 feet

I think that is the answer.
