I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THE WORK FOR THIS QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Find the length of each side(triangle)
first side-x
second side-x+2
third side-x+3
Perimeter=35m
"answer = 10m, 12m, 13m"
^^^^how do you get this???
does anyone know?
P = L + L + L
35 = x + x + 2 + x + 3
35 = 3x + 5
30 = 3x
10 = x
10 + 2 = 12
10 + 3 = 13
where did u get the 2 and 3 from?
ms. sue?
where did you get the 2 and 3 from?
oh i see what you did
THXS MS. Sue ur the BEST
I got them from reading the problem.
second side-x+2
third side-x+3
To find the lengths of the sides of the triangle, we need to solve the given equations and find the value of 'x'. Once we have the value of 'x', we can substitute it back into the equations to get the lengths of the sides. Let's go step by step.
1. First, let's write down the equations based on the given information:
- First side: x
- Second side: x + 2
- Third side: x + 3
2. According to the problem, the perimeter of the triangle is 35 meters. The perimeter is the sum of all three sides, so we can set up the following equation:
x + (x+2) + (x+3) = 35
3. Now, let's simplify the equation:
3x + 5 = 35
4. Next, solve for 'x':
3x = 35 - 5
3x = 30
x = 30 / 3
x = 10
5. We have found the value of 'x', which is 10. Now, substitute this value back into the equations for the lengths of the sides:
- First side: x = 10m
- Second side: x + 2 = 10m + 2m = 12m
- Third side: x + 3 = 10m + 3m = 13m
Therefore, the lengths of the sides of the triangle are 10m, 12m, and 13m.
