A triangle has a perimeter of 13. If it has
sides of x/2,( x – 5), and (x - 2) lengths,
then:
a) find the value of x
b)find the length of the longest side
find the value of x.
find length of the longest side.

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter=s+s+s

p=x/2+x-5+x-2

13=x/2+x-5+x-2

26=x+x+x-10-4

26=3x-14

26+14=3x

3x/3=40/3

x=13.3cm

b.

x/2=6.65

x-5=8.3

x-2=11.3

longest side=11.3cm
