Question 495317: How would you solve this?
"A triangle has a perimeter 29 cm. The sides have lengths, in centimeters, that are consecutive odd integers. What is the length of the longest side?" Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 3 sides would be s, s+2 and s+4
s + s+2 + s+4 = 3s+6 = 29
3s = 23
There are no integer solutions.
