Problema Solution
The perimeter of a triangle is 65 centimeters the second side is twice the first and the third side is 3 and a half times the first side find the longest side
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the first side, then '2x' represent the second side and '3.5x' represents the third side
65 = x + 2x + 3.5x
solving for 'x' we have x=10
2*10 = 20
3.5 * 10 = 35
the longest side is 35 centimeters
