Question 120481: A small area in front of a building is triangular in shape. The perimeter of
the triangle is 37 meters. The second side is one-half of the first side in length. The third side is 3 meters less than the first side. Find the length in meters of each side of the triangular region.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+x/2+x-3=37
x+.5x+x=37+3
2.5x=40
x=40/2.5
x=16 is the length of the first side.
16/2=8 for the second side.
16-3=13 for the third side.
poof:
16+8+13=37
37=37
