Question 549477: The perimeter of a triangle is 34 feet. The second side is seven times the first.The third side is nine times the first. what is the measurement of each side? Answer by TutorDelphia(193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lets name the sides f (first) s (second) and t (third)
We know that
f+s+t=34
s=7f
t=9f
using substitution
f+7f+9f=34
17f=34
f=2
then we can plug in 2 for f and get s=14 and t=18
