the perimeter of a triangle is 43 ft. The shortest side is one-third the length of the middle side. The longest side is 3 feet more than four times the shortest side. Find the lenghts of the three sides

shorter side = 5 feet, middle side = 15 feet, and longest side = 23 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perimeter of the triangle = 43 feet

Let the length of the middle side be represented by a. Then;

shortest side = x a

                     = feet

longest side = (4 x ) + 3

                    = + 3

Perimeter = a + + ( + 3)

⇒ 43 = a + + + 3

43 - 3 = a + +

40 =

    =

40 x 3 = 8a

120 = 8a

a =

  = 15

Therefore,

middle side = 15 feet

shorter side = =

                    = 5 feet

longest side = (4 x ) + 3

                    =  (4 x 5) + 3

                    = 23 feet

look up a corrdinate plane and do what the thingy says and boom

true? is that what you're asking or do you mean something else?
