Question 251980: The sides of a triangle are consecutive odd integers. Its perimeter is 81 cm.
Determine the length of the shortest side in cm. Answer by palanisamy(496) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the length of the shortest side be x cm.
Then the other sides are x+2,x+4
Perimeter is x+(x+2)+(x+4) = 81
3x+6 = 81
3x = 75
x = 25
So the length of the shortest side is 25 cm.
