Answer:

So longest side is 6 units more then the shorter side

The third side is twice the length of the shortest side

The perimeter (all 3 sides added up) is 25.

What’s the 3 sides of the triangle.

So lets make variables.

Let’s make the shortest side of the triangle “s”.

The longest side is 6 units more then the shorter side so

S + 6 is the longest side.

The third side is twice the length of the shortest side so

2S is the third side

S of course is already the shortest side now solve.

s + 6 + 2s + s = 25 <— This is your equation

Now solve

4s + 6 =25

4s = 19

s = 4.75

The shortest side is 4.75

The longest side is 4.75 + 6 which is 10.75

The third side is 2 times the shortest side which is 4.75 * 2 which is 9.50

Answer:

Perimeter of a shape = sum of length of all sides

Let x = shortest side

Given:

  • shortest side = x
  • longest side = x + 6
  • third side = 2x
  • perimeter = 25

⇒ perimeter:   x + (x + 6) + 2x = 25

                                      4x + 6 = 25

                                             4x = 19

                                               x = 4.75

Therefore,

  • shortest side = 4.75 units
  • longest side = 10.75 units
  • third side = 9.5 units
