A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 17 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 173 feet.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of shortest side be x

and length of  second side be 2x

and third side be x+17

given , perimeter = 173 feet

therefore , x+2x+x+17 =173

4x =173-17

4x =156

x = 156/4

x = 39

therefore ,

length of :

shortest side = 39 feet

second side =78 feet

third side =56 feet
