Question

The perimeter of a triangular plot of land is 2400 ft. The longest feet is 200 ft less than twice the shortest. The middle side is 200 ft less than the longest side. Find the lengths of the three sides of the triangular plot.

Answer 1

Set up equations:
Let A be long side, B middle, C short side

--> A+B+C = 2400
--> A = 2C -200
--> B = A -200

Answer 2

Using substitution

--> (2C-200) +(2C-200 -200) +C = 2400
Solve for C

Answer 3

Can you get it from here?

Answer 4

yes, i got A=1000 B=800 C=600
