One side of the triangle is 58 m, the second side is 17 m more than the first and the third

One side of the triangle is 58 m, the second side is 17 m more than the first and the third side is 14 m less than the second find the perimeter of the triangle.

1. Let us determine what the length of the second side of the triangle is if we know from the condition of the problem that it is 17 m greater than the length of the first side, which is 58 m. To do this, add these values.

58 + 17 = 75 m.

2. Now let’s calculate the length of the third side of the triangle if we know that it is 14 less than the length of the second side. For this, the length of the second side will be reduced by the specified amount.

75 – 14 = 61 m.

3. Now let’s calculate the perimeter of a given triangle by adding the lengths of its sides.

P = 58 + 75 + 61 = 194 m.
