The longest side of a triangle is twice the shortest side and the third side is 2 cm longer than the shortest side. If the perimeter of the triangle is more than 166 cm then find the minimum length of the shortest side. |

Answer» Let the length of shortest side = ‘x’ cm According to the question, The longest side of a triangle is twice the shortest side ⇒ Length of largest side = 2x Also, the third side is 2 cm longer than the shortest side ⇒ Length of third side = (x + 2) cm Perimeter of triangle = sum of three sides = x + 2x + x + 2 = 4x + 2 cm Now, we know that, Perimeter is more than 166 cm ⇒ 4x + 2 ≥ 166 ⇒ 4x ≥ 164 ⇒ x ≥ 41 Hence, minimum length of the shortest side should be = 41 cm. |
