The perimeter of a triangle is 48 cm, the length of one side is 16 cm, and the other is 18 cm, find the length of the third side.

1. In order to solve such a problem, we first determine the length of two known sides:
16 + 18 = 34.
2. Now we find the third side, for this we subtract the found sum of the two sides from the perimeter, as a result we determine the length of the third side:
48 – 34 = 14.
Answer: of the three sides of the triangle, the third is 14 cm long.
