Question 426565: In a triangle, the middle length side is 3 more than the shortest side, and the longest side is double the middle length side. The perimeter of the triangle is 45 cm. What are the lengths of the sides? Answer by shree840(260) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! triangle 3 sides
shortest side =x
middle=x+3
largest =2(x+3)=2x+6
perimeter is sum of all sides=x+x+3+2x+6=45
4x+9=45
4x=36
x=9
sides are 9 9+3=12 2*12=24
