Question

The longest side of a triangle is twice the shortest
side and the third side is 5cm. longer than the
shortest side. If the perimeter of the triangle is
more than 186cm, find the minimum length of the
shortest side.

Answer 1

Answer:

45.25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the shortest side.

x+x+5+2x=186cm

4x+5=186

4x=181

x=181/4

x=45.25cm
