The perimeter of the triangle is 11 cm. One side is 2 times smaller than the other and 3 cm smaller than the third

The perimeter of the triangle is 11 cm. One side is 2 times smaller than the other and 3 cm smaller than the third. Find the smaller side of the triangle.

1. The smaller side of a triangle is x centimeters.

2. Determine the length of its second side.

x * 2 = 2x centimeters.

3. The third will be equal to:

(x + 3) centimeters.

4. Let’s make an equation.

x + 2x + x + 3 = 11;

4x = 11 – 3 = 8;

x = 8/4 = 2;

x = 2;

Answer: Smaller sides = 2 centimeters.
