document.write( "Question 151698: Jenny wants to utilize a portion of her garden for growing flowers. Being a designer herself, she visualizes a triangular area with different lenghts for each side. For this Jenny decides to keep a side of the triangular area 6 feet shorter and the other 5 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular area to 29 feet, so that it does not cover a huge area of the garden. Determine the lenght of each side of the triangular area that Jenny has visualized. \n" ); document.write( "

Okay, we know adding the 3 sides of a triangle gives us the \"Perimeter\" right?
\n" ); document.write( "Let's appoint \"x\" as measurement of the sides and based the conditions on this measurement.
\n" ); document.write( "1st side: She decided one side to be 6 feet shorter, = \"x-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "2nd side: She wants the other side 5 feet longer, = \"x%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "3rd side: \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Given \"Perimeter=29ft\", therefor we can get the side by adding the three:
\n" ); document.write( "\"29=%28x-6%29%2B%28x%2B5%29%2Bx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"29=3x-1\" ---------> \"29%2B1=3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"cross%2830%2910%2Fcross%283%29=cross%283%29x%2Fcross%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=10ft\" ------------> 3rd side
\n" ); document.write( "\"10-6=4ft\" --------------> 1st side
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2B5=15ft\" --------------> 2nd side
\n" ); document.write( "Checking,
\n" ); document.write( "\"29ft=10ft%2B4ft%2B15ft\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"29ft=29ft\"
\n" ); document.write( "Thank you,
