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 19 feet more than the length of the shortest side. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 131 feet

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side. Note: This rule must be satisfied for all 3 conditions of the sides.

0.0833333inch  x 12 is a foot

So therefore 1.7 ft 785inch x 3ft .557inch x 20ft .785inch = 3 + 6 remainder.

= 27.97 + 55.94 + 46.97

= 27. 97 + 55.94 + 46.97 = 0.3 + 0.6 negative


 

L = 28ft , 56ft, 47ft

P = 28 + 56 + 47 = 131 ft

 

= 27. 97 + 55.94 + 46.97 = 0.3 + 0.6 negative

46.97- 27.97 = 19

x 2 ( 27.97) = 55.94

Therefore we can round up to 28 + 56 + 47
