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

Answer» Let x, 3x, 3x – 2 be the sides of a triangle Given: x + 3x + 3x – 2 ≥ 61 7x ≥ 63 x ≥ 9. ∴ Minimum length of shortest side = 9 cm. ∴ Other sides are 27 and 25. |
