Circumference of a triangle

The perimeter of the triangle is 104 cm. One side is 6 cm longer and 8 cm shorter than the third. Find the lengths of its sides.

Final Answer:

a =  34 cm
b =  28 cm
c =  42 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

o=104 cm  a+b+c = o a = 6+b a = c−8  a+(a−6)+(a+8)=o a+(a−6)+(a+8)=104  3a=102  a=3102​=34  a=34=34 cm
b=a−6=34−6=28 cm
c=a+8=34+8=42 cm
