Question 165581: The shortest side of a triangle is one half the length of the middle side, plus 2 cm. The longest side of the triangle is one and one-half times the length of the middle side, less 2 cm. The perimeter of the triangle is 60 cm. How long are each of the sides?

Let the middle side = m.
Shortest = .5m+2
Longest = 1.5m-2
.
m+.5m+2+1.5m-2=60
3m=60
m=20
S=12
L=28
