For this Jenny decides to keep a side of the triangular area 5 feet shorter and the other 4 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular aea to 29 feet, so that it does not cover a huge area of the garden. Determint the length of each side of the triangular area that Jenny has visualized. \n" ); document.write( "

a side of the triangular area 5 feet shorter and the other 4 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular area to 29 feet. Determine the length of each side of the triangular area
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = length of 3rd side
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+4) = length of the longer side
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(x-5) = length of the shorter side
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+4) + (x-5) = 29
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + x + 4 - 5 = 29
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 1 = 29
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 29 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"30%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The 3 sides: 14 by 10 by 5 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
