Question :-
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.
Solution :-
let, a , b and c are sides of triangle.
perimeter of triangle is 61 cm.
by question
let, a be the shortest side,
Hence a = x cm
let, b be the longest side,
Hence b = 3x cm
let, c be the 3rd side which 2cm shorter than longest side,
Hence c = 3x - 2 cm
we know formula of
=> Perimeter of triangle = a + b + c
=> 61 = x + 3x + 3x - 2
=> 61 = 7x - 2
=> 61 + 2 = 7x
=> 63 = 7x
i.e.
=> 7x = 63
=> x = 63/7
=> x = 9 cm
Hence minimum length of shortest side of triangle is 9 cm.
i hope it helps you.
