The perimeter doesn't tell you the length of any of the sides. There are
an infinite number of different triangles that all have the same perimeter.
The only thing you can tell from a 63-in perimeter is that no side can be
31.5 inches or more.
If the length of each side is doubled, then the perimeter is also doubled.

2.5 inches
the perimeter of a triangle is 86 inches. the largest side is four inches less than twice the smallest side. the third side is 10 inches longer than the smallest side. what is the length of each side?
The longest side can have a length of 6, 8, or 10 units. It cannot have an odd length. If the third side has to be the longest, the two shorter sides can only have integer lengths of 1 and 2 2 and 3 3 and 4

Perimeter of a triangle = (length of side #1) + (length of side #2) + (length of side #3)
Perimeter of a triangle = (length of the first side) plus (length of the second side) plus (length of the third side)
Let the length of the longest side of the triangle be x units.Since the lengths of the sides of the triangle are consecutive even numbers, which differ by 2, the perimeter of the triangle equals to (x - 4) + (x - 2) + x = 3x - 6.Since the length of the longest side is 22 units shorter than the perimeter, the perimeter of the triangle also equals to x + 22. So that3x - 6 = x + 22 (subtract x and add 6 to both sides)3x - x + 6 - 6 = x - x + 6 + 222x = 28 (divide both sides by 2)x = 14Thus the longest side has a length of 14 units.
Perimeter of a triangle = (length of the first side) plus (length of the second side) plus (length of the third side)
-- Area of a triangle = 1/2 of (length of the base times height) -- Perimeter of a triangle = (length of one side) + (length of another side) + (length of last side)
I am not sure what you mean by a "fundamental" number (I've never heard of that term being used with reference to the numbers themselves); I guess you mean an "integer". For a triangle to exist the shorter two sides must be longer than the longest side. Thus there is an upper limit to the length of the longest side of a triangle. For a given perimeter, the longest side must be less than half the perimeter. For a perimeter of 42cm this means that the longest side is less than 42 cm ÷ 2 = 21 cm. If we focus on the longest side of a triangle, as it becomes shorter, one or both of the other two sides must increase in length, they can equal but never be longer than this longest side. Thus there is also a lower limit below which the longest side cannot be; this is when all three sides are equal and the triangle is an equilateral triangle. For a perimeter of 42cm the longest side is greater than or equal to 42 cm ÷ 3 = 14 cm So with a perimeter of 42 cm we have: 14 cm ≤ longest side < 21 cm Which means for an integer length, the longest side can be 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm, 19 cm or 20 cm.
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its 3 sides.
If the triangle is equilateral, you simply divide the perimeter by three to find the length of each side. If the triangle is not equilateral, you will need more information to determine the length of each side.
-- Find the length of one side. -- Find the length of another side. -- Find the length of the remaining side. -- Add the three numbers. -- Their sum is the perimeter of the scalene triangle.
You divide the length of the shortest side by the length of the longest side.
