For this Jenny decides to keep a side of the triangular area 3 feet shorter and the other 2 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular area to 32 feet, so that it does not cover a huge area of the garden. Determine the maximum length of each side of the triangular area that Jenny has visualized. \n" ); document.write( "

Let \"s\"= a side of the triangle
\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "Maximum perimeter = \"32\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "One of the sides is \"s+-+3\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "Another side is \"s+%2B+2\" ft
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the 3 sides is
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+%2B+s+-+3+%2B+s+%2B+2+=+3s+-+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3s+-+1+=+32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3s+=+33\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+11\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+-+3+=+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+%2B+2+=+13\"
\n" ); document.write( "The maximum lengths of the sides is
\n" ); document.write( "8, 11, and 13
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"8+%2B+11+%2B+13+=+32\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"32+=+32\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
