Problema Solution
a triangular shaped lake front lot has a perimeter of 1000 ft. One side is 200 ft longer than the shortest side, while the third side is 500 ft longer than the shortest side. Find the lengths of all three sides.
Answer provided by our tutors
The three sides are x, (x+200), (x+500)
So the equation is
x+(x+200)+(x+500)=1000
x = 100
So three sides are 100 ft, 300 ft, 600 ft
