Problema Solution

A triangular 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

suppose the shortest side is x

then other two sides are x+ 500 and x+ 200

thus

3x + 700=190

3x=1200

x=400 feet
