Question 884605: the length of one side a triangular lot is 6m less than three times the length of the second side. the third side is 8m longer than the first side. the perimeter of the lot is 80 m. Find the length of all three sides Answer by skartikey(21) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let sides are a, b, c
a=3b-6
c=a+8
a+b+c=80
3b-6+b+a+8=80
3b-6+b+3b-6+8=80
7b-4=80
7b=84
b=12
a=3b-6=3(12)-6=30
c=a+8=30+8=38
