Problema Solution

A flower bed is in the shape of triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side. The third side is 30 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 102 feet.

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the short side be x

One side =2x

And the third side= x+30

x+2x+x+30=102

4x=72

X= 18

The other side = 36

Third side= 48
