The longest side of a triangle is 3 times


Asked by admin @ in Math viewed by 285 People


The longest side of a triangle is 3 times the shortest side and the third side is 2 cm shorter than the longest side. If the perimeter of the triangle is at least 61 cm, find the minimum length of the shortest side.

Answered by admin @



Let the shortest side =x cm

longest side=3x cm
third side=3x-2
perimeter = 61 cm

x+3x+3x-2=61

7x=61+2
7x=63

x =63/7

x= 9
minimum length of shortest side = x= 9 cm
