One side of a triangle is 1/3 the longest side. The third side 8 feet less than the longest side. The perimeter is 62. Find all three sides

Answer 1

L=8+T

L+S+T = 62

S = L/3

L+ L/3 + L-8 = 62

7L/3 = 70

L = 30 feet for the longest side

S = L/3 = 10 feet for the shortest side

T = L-8 = 30-8 = 22 feet for the third side
