Question

The perimeter of a triangle is 68 feet. One side of the triangle is 2 times the second side. The third side is 8 feet longer than the second side. Find the length of each side.

Answer 1

Answer:

first side is 30feet second side is 15feet and third side is 23feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

(let's take the three sides as x,l,andv respectively.)

l*2=x and l+8=v

=(l*2)+l+(l+8)=68

=4l+8=68

=4l=68-8

=4l=60

=l=60/4

=l=15

then l+8=v

=v=23

and l*2=x

=x=30
