Answer to Problem 6CA

3 inches

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  Perimeter of triangle = 13 inches

  BIG IDEAS MATH Algebra 1: Common Core Student Edition 2015, Chapter 1, Problem 6CA

Formula used:

  Perimeter of triangle = sum of the sides of the triangle

Calculation:

From the given figure, the sides of the triangle are (x5) , x2 and 6 inches.

  Perimeter of triangle = sum of the sides of the triangle

  Perimeter of triangle =(x5)+x2+6 13×2=2×(x5)+x+2×626=2x10+x+1226=3x+2262=3x24=3xx=8

The sides of the triangle are

  (x5)=85=3

  x2=82=4

Thus, the sides of the triangle are 3, 4 and 6 inches.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the shortest side of the triangle is 3 inches.
