--------------------------------------------------------------------
..., one side twice the length of the shortest side, and the third side is 10 feet more than the length of the shortest side.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sides are x, 2x, x+10.



------------------------------------------------------
... shape of a triangle ,... Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 126 feet.
------------------------------------------------------


x%2B2x%2B%28x%2B10%29=126
-
4x%2B10=126
4x=116
highlight%28x=29%29, the shortest side
