Question

This is an Geometric Problem

A lot is in the shape of a triangle . One side is 32 feet longer than the shortest side while the third side is ten feet shorter than twice the shorter side . The perimeter of the lot is 238 feet . Find the length of the sides of the lot .

Answer 1

ill do it right now

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

okay so i will teach you, you have to read word problems so you can understand em nxt time

Answer 4

They said one side is 32 ft longer than the shortest side (lets label it c)

Answer 5

so we'll say that side is 32+c

Answer 6

since its 32 ft plus the length of c (shortest side)

Answer 7

the third side is TWO times C's length and then minus 10

Answer 8

So that would be 2*C - 10 ft for the third side

Answer 9

throw it all into an algabraic equation like such
238=32+c+c+2c-10

Answer 10

since perimeter is the total length in feet all added together

Answer 11

C is equal to 54 feet. Meaning your shortest side is 54
Your longest side is 2*54-10 which is 98
And your 2nd longets side is 32+54 = 86
