Question

The sides of a triangle are given :x, 2x +2,3x-2. If its
perimeter is 30 cm , then find the smallest side of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of triangle = sum of all sides

30 = x + (2x+2) + (3x-2)

30 = x+2x+2+3x-2

30= x+2x+3x+2-2

30=6x +0

30= 6x

30/6= x

5 = x

Thus , the smallest side is 5 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2x+2+3x-2=30

6x=30

x=5

SMALLEST SIDE => x=5
