The sides of the triangle are as follows:
a = 43 meters
b = 172 meters
c = 341 meters
Given, we have the perimeter of the triangle as 556 meters.
The sides of the triangle are:
a = x meters
b = 4x meters
c = (8x - 3) meters.
we know that perimeter of the triangle = a + b + c
therefore, a + b+ c = Perimeter
x + 4x + (8x - 3) = 556
x + 4x + 8x - 3 = 556
13x - 3 = 556
13x = 556 + 3
13x = 559
x = 559/13
x = 43
hence we get the value of x as 43.
substitute x value in the sides of the triangle to get the orignal values of the sides.
a = x = 43 meters.
b = 2x = 4 × 43 = 172 meters.
c = 8x - 3 = 8(43) - 3 = 341 meters.
Hence the sides of the triangle are 43 meters , 172 meters and 341 meters.
