One side of a triangle is 2 feet shorter than the second side. The third side is 4 feet shorter than the second side. The perimeter of a triangle is 15 feet. Find the length of each side.

Respuesta :

The length of first side is 5 feet, the length of second side is 7 feet, the length of third side is 3 feet.

What is perimeter?

The perimeter is the sum of measurement of all sides of a triangle. It is done by a ruler.

How to calculate perimeter?

let the second side be x

according to question first side will be (x-2) feet and the third side will be (x-4) feet.

We know that  the perimeter is equal to the sum of all sides of a triangle.

so

x+x-2+x-4=15

3x=6=15

3x=21

x=7

The length of first side=7-2=5 feet

The length of second side=7 feet

The length of third side=3 feet

Hence the sides of the triangle is 5 feet, 7 feet, and 3 feet.
