A triangular​ lake-front lot has a perimeter of 1200 feet. One side is 200 feet longer than the shortest​ side, while the third side is 400 feet longer than the shortest side. Find the lengths of all three sides.

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

let the SHORTEST SIDE be ' a '

so the lengths of the sides of the triangle are

a, a +200, a+400

PERIMETER of the triangle is sum of all sides

IMPLIES,

a + a+ 200 +a + 400 = 1200

3a + 600 = 1200

a = 200

the sides of the triangle are 200, 400, 600
