You can put this solution on YOUR website! One side of a triangle is half the longest side. The third side is 9 meters less than the longest side. The perimeter is 46 meters. Find all 3 sides
----
Longest:: 2x
2nd side:: x
3rd side:: 2x-9
--------
Equation:
Perimeter = 46 meters
2x + x + 2x-9 = 46
5x = 55
x = 11
--------------------
longest:: 2x = 22 meters
2nd side:: x = 11 meters
3rd side:: 2x-9 = 13 meteres
------------------
