3x+6 = 24

3x = 24-6

3x = 18

x = 6

How do i find the Ratio of the shortest to the longest side of a triangle?

You divide the length of the shortest side by the length of the longest side.


A triangle has a perimeter of 39 cm. The longest side is twice as long as the shortest side. The third side is 7 cm. longer than the shortest side. What are the lengths of the three sides?

Let the shortest side be x cm, so that the longest side is 2x cm, and the third side is x + 7 cm. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 39 cm we have:x + 2x + x + 7 = 394x = 32x = 8Thus, the lengths of the sides are 8 cm, 15 cm, and 16 cm.


How can you tell from the angle measures of a triangle which side of the triangle is longest and shortest?

What It's not possible to build a triangle with side lengths of 3 3 and 9.?

Because the sum of the shortest sides is less than the longest side and in order to construct a triangle the sum of its shortest sides must be greater than its longest side.


You know the two shortest sides of a triangle how do you work out the longest?

More information is required. The longest side can be anything between slightly more than the shortest side, to infinity.Square the two shortest sides together and then add them both together to form our answer for the longest side
