The sides of a triangle, taken in order are each 3 cm longer than the preceeding side. If the
perimeter of the triangle is 81 cm. Find the sides of triangle.
Answers
AB=x cm
BC=x+3 cm
CA=x+6
Perimeter=AB +BC+CA
x+x+6+x+3=81
3x+9=81
3x= 81-9
3x=72
x=72/3
x=24
Therefore;
AB=24 cm
BC=27 cm
CA= 30 cm

Question :-
The sides of a triangle, taken in order are each 3 cm longer than the preceeding side. If theperimeter of the triangle is 81 cm. Find the sides of triangle.
Given :-
★ The sides of a triangle, taken in order are each 3 cm longer than the preceeding side.
★ Perimeter of triangle = 81 cm.
Solution :-
Let the sides of triangle are 'x', 'x+3' and 'x+3+3 = x+6'
Perimeter is 81 cm. ----------------( Given )
So,
We know that , perimeter = sum of all sides
Therefore, 81 = x + x + 3+ x + 6
⟶ x + x + x + 3 + 6 = 81
⟶ 3x + 9 = 81
⟶ 3x = 81 - 9
⟶ 3x = 72
⟶ x = 72 / 3
⟶ x = 24
Now, put the value of x in their sides ,
therefore,
⟹ x = first side = 24cm
⟹ x + 3 = second side = 24 + 3 = 27 cm
⟹ x + 6 = third side = 24 + 6 = 30 cm
So, The sides of triangle are 24cm,27cm and 30 cm.
