Answer 2

Let the first side be triangle be x
Then second side of a triangle = x+3
and accordingly third side = 2x
Perimeter of the triangle = sum of all the sides = 47
x+x+3+2x = 47
4x+3 = 47
Subtracting 3 from either side results in..
4x+3-3 = 47-3
4x= 44
Dividing both sides by 4
x=11
So second side of a triangle = x+3 = 11+3


Ans : 14 meter
