The perimeter of a triangle is 62, the 1st side is twice the length of the second side, the third side is 6 more than the second side. what is the length of each side?

We have three sides in this triangle,

first side=2x

second side=x

third side=x+6

Perimeter of a triangle=sum of all sides.

Then, we can suggest this equation:

(2x) + x + (x+6) = 62

4x+6=62

4x=62-6

4x=56

x=56/4

x=14

first side=2x=2 (14) = 28 cm

second side=14 cm

third side=x+6=14+6=20 cm

The length of the sides would be: 28 cm, 14 cm and 20 cm.
