Question 1096294
The lengths of the sides of a triangle are represented by three consecutive even integers.  If the perimeter of the triangle is 96 feet,  find the lengths of its sides. 
----------
Option 1, work it out the hard way.
x^2 + (x+1)^2 + (x+2)^2 = 96
tho it wasn't spec'd to be a right triangle.

Or,
remember the 3-4-5 right triangle.
Its perimeter = 12
----
--> 3*8 - 4*8 - 5*8
--> 24, 32, 40
