Answer:
First side=7
Second side =28
Third side =8
explanation:
Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the length of the sides of the triangle. Given that the perimeter of the triangle = 43 inches
Second side is 4 times the first side
Third side is 1 inch longer the first
Let's call the first side x
Then equation for the perimeter of the triangle is given by
x+4x+x+1=43
We solve for x
6x+1=43
6x=43-1
6x=42
x=42/6
x=7
Therefore the first side x=7, the second side is 4x= 4*7=28, third side= 1+x= 1+7=8
