Question 932591: a lot is in the shape of a triangle. One side is 600 ft longer than the shortest side, while the third side is 900 ft longer than the shortest side. The perimeter of the lot is 2100 ft. Find the lengths of the sides of the lot. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + (x+600) + (x+900) = 2100ft
3x = 600ft
x = 200ft
...
sides are: 200ft, 800ft, 1100ft
And... checking
Sum = 2100ft
