The longest side is 9 feet shorter than twice the shortest side a side is 9 feet less than the longest side. is 132 ​feet, what are the lengths of the​ sides?

Question

I need help figuring out the sides of the triangle.

Answer 1

Shortest side = X

 

Longest side = 2x - 9

 

Middle side = 2x - 18

 

5x - 27 = 132

 

5x = 159

 

x = 159/5 = 31.8  <--- shortest

                  54.6   <--- longest

                  45.6    <--- middle
