The longest side of a triangle is 4 more than three times the shortest side and the remaining side is 6.2cm.
\n" ); document.write( " Find the lengths of each side if the perimeter is 23cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let s = the shortest side
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(3s+4) = the longest side
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A simple equation
\n" ); document.write( "(3s+4) + s + 6.2 = 23
\n" ); document.write( "4s + 10.2 = 23
\n" ); document.write( "Find s, then you can find the long side too
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
