Problema Solution
A triangular lake front lot has a perimeter of 1900 feet. One side is 200 feet longer than the shortest side, while the third side is 500 feet longer than the shortest side. Find the lengths of all three sides.
Answer provided by our tutors
short side = x
second side = x+200
third side = 500+ x
perimeter = 1900 = 3x+ 700
or 3x = 1200
x = 400
ist side = 400 , second = 600 , third = 900
