Let's let A, B, C represent the sides of the triangle from shortest to longest, then:
A = ?
B = A + 2
C = A + 3
To find the perimeter we add all the sides p = A + B + C, and based on the problem
p = A + B + C
26 = A + (A + 2) + (A+3)
26 = 3A + 5
21 = 3A
7 = A
Now we can use the fact that A = 7 in, which is the shortest side, to find all three sides:
A = 7
B = 7 + 2 = 9
C = 7 + 3 = 10
The lengths of the sides are 7 in, 9 in, and 10 in.
May I get brainliest please? :)
