Answer» Given : The sides of a triangle are in the form of consecutive even integer. Let the sides be x, x + 1, x + 2. Perimeter of the triangle = 48 cm To Find : The measure of each sides. Solution : Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all the sides 48 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 3x + 3 = 48 3x = 48 - 3 3x = 45 x = 15 Sides of the triangle are 15, 16 and 17.

Answer»

Given :

The sides of a triangle are in the form of consecutive even integer.

Let the sides be x, x + 1, x + 2.

Perimeter of the triangle = 48 cm

To Find : The measure of each sides.

Solution :

Perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all the sides

48 = x + x + 1 + x + 2

3x + 3 = 48

3x = 48 - 3

3x = 45

x = 15

Sides of the triangle are 15, 16 and 17.
