the perimeter of a quadrilateral is 29 inches. The longest side is twice as long as the shortest side. The other two sides are equally long and are 2 inches longer than the shortest side. Find the length of all four sides.
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw an irregular quadrilateral.
\n" ); document.write( "Let the shortest side be \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let the longest side be \"2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "The two other sides are each \"x+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "x+2x+x+2+x+2=29
\n" ); document.write( "5x=25
\n" ); document.write( "x=5 inches
\n" ); document.write( "2x=10 inches
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=7 inches
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=7 inches
\n" ); document.write( "They add up to 29 inches, as required.
