Question 333591
<font face=”Garamond” size=”+2”>


The perimeter of a triangle is simply the sum of the measures of the sides.  So if the perimeter is 63 and the measures of the sides are *[tex \Large 6x], *[tex \Large 4x\ +\ 6] and *[tex \Large 8x\ +\ 3], then you can write:


*[tex \LARGE\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 6x\ +\ 4x\ +\ 6\ +\ 8x\ +\ 3\ =\ 63]


Solve the equation for *[tex \Large x] and then substitute the value of *[tex \Large x] back into the three expressions for the measures of the three sides of the triangle.


If all three sides are equal, then you have an equilateral triangle.  If two of the sides are equal and the third one is different, then you have an isosceles triangle.  Otherwise, you have a scalene triangle.  Let me know what you discover about your triangle.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
