Question 498104: One side of a triangle is half the longest side. The third side is 10 meters less than the longest side. The perimeter is 45 meters. Find all three sides. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A = 1/2x
B = x
C = x - 10
1/2x +x + x - 10 = 45
2 1/2 x = 55
x = 22
A = 11 meters.
B = 22 meters.
C = 12 meters.
