Question 412340: A sculptor is joining together different pieces of marble to create a sculpture. It is triangular with a perimiter of 86cm. The third side is 4cm less than the first side. The second side is one half of the first side. Find the length of each side. Answer by BadLandsBarn(8) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + 1/2x + x-4 = 86
5/2x = 90
5x = 180
x = 36
side 1 = 36
side 2 = 18
side 3 = 32
check.
36 + 18 + 32 = 86.
