Question

1. Find the length of each side of the triangle if its perimeter is 86cm the sides are. 3a-2, 5a+3, 6a+1​

Answer 1

Hello,

3a - 2 + 5a + 3 + 6a + 1 = 86

14a + 2 = 86

14a = 86 - 2

14a = 84

a = 84/14

a = 6

lengths :

3a - 2 = 3 × 6 - 2 = 18 - 2 = 16 cm

5a + 3 = 5 × 6 + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33 cm

6a + 1 = 6 × 6 + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37 cm
