Step-by-step explanation:
let sides be x, x+1, x+2
sum of the sides = 12

Answer:
The length of the three sides of the triangle are 3m, 4m and 5m.
Step-by-step explanation:
- In the question, it is given that the sides of the triangle are three consecutive numbers.
- Let the three sides of the triangle are x, x+1, x+2.
- It is given that the perimeter of the triangle is 12m.
- The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the three sides of the triangle.
- According to the question, x+x+1+x+2 =12m
- x+x+x+3=12m
- 3x+3=12m
- 3x=12-3
- 3x=9
- x=9/3
- x= 3m
- x= 3mx+1= 3+1= 4m
- x= 3mx+1= 3+1= 4mx+2= 3+2= 5m
Conclusion:
The length of the three sides of the triangle are 3m, 4m and 5m .
