The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side, and the third side is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. If the perimeter of the deck is 52 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?

13 ft, 17 ft, 22 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the shortest side, then second side is x + 4 and the third side is

2x - 4

sum the 3 sides and equate to 52

x + x + 4 + 2x - 4 = 52 , simplify

4x = 52 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 13

x + 4 = 13 + 4 = 17

2x - 4 = 2(13) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22

lengths of 3 sides are 13 ft, 17 ft and 22 ft

the answer is somewhere there guys it really . there im just not gonna answer

step-by-step explanation:

but i'm guessing ur first option tho
