A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 30 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 198 feet.
What is the length of the shortest side?
The length of the shortest side is

The three sides are 36 f t ,  72 f t  and  59 f t .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shortest side of the triangular flower bed be x feet.

Then the length of the second side is 2x and

the length of the third side is  x + 23

The given perimeter is  167 f t  hence:

x+2x+x+23=167

4x+23=167

4x=167-23

4 x = 144

x = 144 /4 = 36

2 x = 2 ⋅ 36 = 72

x +23 = 36 + 23 = 59

The length of the three sides of the triangular flower bed are 36 f t ,  72 f t  and  59 f t .

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).
