One side of the triangle is 6 cm longer than the second, and the third side is 14 cm.

One side of the triangle is 6 cm longer than the second, and the third side is 14 cm.Calculate the first and second sides of the triangle if its perimeter is 52 cm.

This problem can be solved by writing an equation;

Let x – see the value of the first side of this triangle;

Then x + 6 cm is the value of the second side of this triangle;

It is also known that the value of the perimeter of this triangle is 52 cm, we will draw up an equation of the following form:

x + x + 6 + 14 = 52;

2 * x + 20 = 52;

2 * x = 52 -20;

2 * x = 32;

x = 32: 2;

x = 16.

16 cm – the first side of this triangle;

16 + 6 = 22 cm – the second side of the triangle.

Answer: 16 cm is the first side of this triangle; ; 22 cm is the second side of the triangle.
