Question

A triangle has a perimeter of 161 miles. The length of each of the two shorter sides of the triangle is two thirds the length of the longest side. Find the length of each side of the triangle.

Answer 1

let x = longest side, then 2/3x = shorter sides.

x + 2(2/3x) = 161

Solve for x, then 2/3 x.
