Preliminaries
Functions and Their Graphs
Given a triangle whose sides have lengths $a, b,$ and $c,$ the formula for its perimeter $P$ is $P=a+b+c.$ The steps at the right show a formula for finding a side length of a triangle given the perimeter and the lengths of the two other sides. Write an explanation for each step.
