Question 341276: The longest side of a triangle is twice as long as the shortest side and the remaining side is 25. If the perimeter is 70, find the lengths of the sides of the triangle. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let L=longest, s=shortest, m=remaining side's length.
L=2s
m=25
s+2s+25=70
3s+25=70
3s=45
s=15
L=30
