Question

Clara is building a triangular garden. She wants the length of the longest side to be three more than twice as long as the length of the shortest side, and the third side will be twelve feet long.

Answer 1

3s+15

Explanation:

let 's' be the length of the shortest side

-> twice as long as the length of the shortest side =2s

->length of the longest side to be three more than twice as long as the length of the shortest side = 2s + 3

-> the third side= 12 feet

p = s + 12 + 2s+3

p= 3s+15
