Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the shortest side be x cm
Longest side = 2x cm
Third side = 2x–2 cm
Perimeter = 33 cm
According to the question,
2x + 2x–2 +x = 33
=>5x–2 = 33
=> x = 35/5
=> x = 7
Thus the sides are as, follows
The shortest side = 7 cm
The longest side= 14 cm
The third side = 12 cm
