Question 846479: The shortest side of a triangle with perimeter 35cm is 5cm.calculate the length of the other two sides if they are in a geometric progression Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5+5x+5x^2=35
5x+5x^2=30
x+x^2=6
x^2+x-6=0
(x-2)*(x+3)=0
x=-3 reject for perimeter
x=2
5+10+20=35
