Question 182440
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


If the third side of the triangle measures <i>x</i>, then one of the other sides must be <i>x</i> - 5, and the other one <i>x</i> + 4.


If the perimeter is to be a maximum of 29 feet, then the sum of the measures of the sides must be less than or equal to 29:


*[tex \LARGE \text{          }\math x + (x + 4) + (x - 5) \leq 29]


*[tex \LARGE \text{          }\math 3x - 1 \leq 29]


*[tex \LARGE \text{          }\math 3x \leq 30]


*[tex \LARGE \text{          }\math x \leq 10]


So, one side is less than or equal to 10, another side is less than or equal to  *[tex \Large 10 - 5 = 5], and the last side is less than or equal to  *[tex \Large 10 + 4 = 14].
