A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side, and the third side is 29 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 193 feet.

Question

kkutie7 · Answer

We can start here.
P=a+b+c 
a=shortest side
c=a+29
P=193
b=2*a

kkutie7 · Answer

from there we can assume:
193=a+b+c
193=a+(2*a)+c
193=a+(2*a)+(a+29)

kkutie7 · Answer

193=a+2a+a+29
193=4a+29
164=4a
41=a

kkutie7 · Answer

c=a+29
c=41+29
c=70

kkutie7 · Answer

b=2*a
b=2*41
b=82
