Find the lengths of the sides of the triangle with dimensions 2x, 2x-3, 15
Not enough information.
What kind of triangle is it?
If it's a right triangle, an obvious choice is 9-12-15, making x=6
Otherwise, all we know is that 4x-3 > 15, or x > 4.5
To find the lengths of the sides of the triangle, we can use the triangle inequality theorem, which states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side.
In this case, we have the dimensions of the triangle as 2x, 2x-3, and 15. Let's apply the triangle inequality theorem to these lengths:
1. The sum of the first two sides must be greater than the third side:
2x + (2x-3) > 15
2. Simplifying this inequality:
4x - 3 > 15
3. Adding 3 to both sides:
4x > 18
4. Dividing both sides by 4:
x > 4.5
Now, we can proceed to find the values of the sides using the value of x:
1. Substitute x = 4.5 back into the dimensions:
2 * (4.5) = 9
2 * (4.5) - 3 = 6
15
Therefore, the lengths of the sides of the triangle are 9, 6, and 15.
