The perimeter of a triangle is 24inches. The longest side is 4 more than the middle side , and the smallest side is half the length of middle side. What are the lengths?

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the smallest side is 4 inches.

the length of the middle side is 8 inches.

the length of the longest side is 12 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the middle side of the triangle.

The longest side is 4 more than the middle side. It means that the length of the middle side is x + 4.

The smallest side is half the length of middle side. It means that the length of the smallest side is

x/2

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the lengths of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the triangle is 24 inches. It means that

x + 4 + x + x/2 = 24

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, it becomes

2x + 8 + 2x + x = 48

5x = 48 - 8

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8 inches

The length of the longest side is

8 + 4 = 12 inches

The length of the smallest side is

8/2 = 4 inches

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
