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 22 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 186 feet.

Answer :

The three sides of the triangle will be 82, 63, and 41 feet.

What is a triangle?

Triangle is a shape made of three sides in a two-dimensional plane. the sum of the three angles is 180 degrees. The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of all three sides of the triangle.

That a flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortestside, and the third side 22 feet more than the length of the shortest side.

Let the three sides of the triangle be A, B, and C. Here A is the longest side B is the shortest side and C is the third side.

Perimeter = A + B + C

A = 2B and C = 22 + B

Put the values in the equation as solve:-

Perimeter = A + B + C

186 = 2B + B + 22 + B

186 = 4B + 22

4B = 186 - 22

4B = 164

B = 164 / 4

B = 41 feet

Longest side = 2B = 2 x 41 = 82 feet

Shirtest side = B = 41 feet

Third side = 22 + B = 22 + 41 = 63 feet

Therefore, the three sides of the triangle will be 82, 63, and 41 feet.
