Bookmark The perimeter of a triangular shaped garden is 24 feet. The third side is one more than four times the first side. The second side is three more than the first side
What is the length of the longest side of the garden?

14 1/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let 's' = shortest side

let '4s + 1' = longest side

let '3 + s' = middle side

s + 4s + 1 + 3 + s = 24

6s + 4 = 24

6s = 20

s = 20/6 or 3 1/3

longest side: 4 · 10 + 1

                             3

= 40/3 + 1

= 13/ 1/3 + 1

= 14 1/3
