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 56 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?

Let's assume

first side as shortest side

and shortest side =x

we are given

the second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side

so, second side is

the third side is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side

so, third side is

now, we are given

perimeter =56

so,

first side + second side + third side =56

we get

now, we can solve for x

so,

first side is 14 feet

Second side is:

Third side is:

£56

step-by-step explanation:

u divide 24 by 3 and u get 8 so if u do 8 time 7 or 8+8+8+8+8+8+8 u get 56 and 56 divided by 7 is 8.
