Question

3. The longest side of a triangle is 3 times the shortest side and the third side is 2 cm shorter than the longest side. If the perimeter of the triangle is at least 61 cm, find the minimum length of the shortest side. 82​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, let us assume that the length of the shortest side of a triangle is x cm. Now, given the question that the longest side of a triangle is 3 times the shortest side so the length of the longest side will be 3x and the third side is 2 cm shorter than the longest side so the length of the third side will be 3x−2.
