Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Perimeter of triangle = 69cm;
Unknown:
Length of each side = ?
Solution:
Side a is 5cm shorter than side b;
b = a + 5 ----- i
Side c is 5 more than twice side b;
c = 2b + 5
The three sides of triangle are a, b and c;
Perimeter is the sum of sides of a body;
a + b + c = 69
From i;
a = b - 5
b
c = 2b + 5
so;
b - 5 + b + 2b + 5 = 69
4b = 69
b = 17.25cm
a = b -5 = 17.25 - 5 = 12.25cm
c = 2(17.25) + 5 = 39.5cm
