This poem says the perimeter of a triangle is 82 feet.
00:04
One side of the triangle is two times the second side.
00:06
The third side is two feet longer than the second side.
00:09
Find the length of each side.
00:11
And for the perimeter of a triangle, we know we find that by adding all three of our sides.
00:16
And both our first side or one side and then the third side are both being compared to the second side.
00:22
So we'll say our second side is x and that we have one side is x.
00:26
And then we have the one side that's compared to that second side is two times the second side.
00:31
So our next side would be 2x.
00:33
And then our final side, the third side, is supposed to be two feet longer than the second side x.
00:39
So that would be x plus 2...
