Question 924134: The lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive integers. Find the length of the longest side of the triangle if the perimeter of the triangle is 252 feet? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + (x+1) +(x+2) = 252ft
3x = 249
x = 83ft, shortest Side. Longest Side = 85ft
and...checking
83 + 84 + 85 = 252
