The second side of the triangle deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side. the third side of the deck is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. if the perimeter of the deck is 76 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?

Step-by-step explanation:

let s = the length of the shortest side

:

Write an equation for each statement

:

The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side

(s+4) = the 2nd side

and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.

(2s-4) = the 3rd side

:

If the perimeter of the deck is 48 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?

s + (s+4) + (2s-4) = 48

Combine like terms

s + s + 2s + 4 - 4 = 48

4s = 48

s = 48/4

s = 12 ft is the shortest side

I'll let you find the 2nd and 3rd sides, ensure they add up to 48
