Question 930622: the perimeter of a triangle is 60 feet. One leg is 12 feet long. Of the two unknown sides,one of them is twice as long as the other. Find the lengths of the two unknown sides Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 12ft + 2x + x = 60ft
3x = 48ft
x = 16ft
....
16ft and 32ft the other tow sides
And...checking
12ft + 16ft + 32ft = 60ft
