or is the teacher who proposed this problem not paying attention?
2) If we call the length of the shortest side  ,
and if such a triangle existed,
the length of the other sides would be  and  ,
and the perimeter would be  .
Then, the equation to solve would be
 -->  ,
and the solution would be  .
That would make the length of the sides of the triangle
 ,  , and  .
