You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1) there is no such triangle, because \"5%2B6=11%3C13\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "so is there a typo,
\n" ); document.write( "is this problem intended to see if you are paying attention,
\n" ); document.write( "is this posting intended to see if we are paying attention,
\n" ); document.write( "or is the teacher who proposed this problem not paying attention?
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2) If we call the length of the shortest side \"5x\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and if such a triangle existed,
\n" ); document.write( "the length of the other sides would be \"6x\" and \"13x\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and the perimeter would be \"5x%2B6x%2B13x=24x\" .
\n" ); document.write( "Then, the equation to solve would be
\n" ); document.write( "\"24x=48\" --> \"x=48%2F2\",
\n" ); document.write( "and the solution would be \"x=2\" .
\n" ); document.write( "That would make the length of the sides of the triangle
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x=5%282cm%29=10cm\" , \"6x=6%282cm%29=12cm\" , and \"13x=13%282cm%29=26cm\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The problem is that that triangle could not exist in the world I know.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
