Q. 254.1( 53 Votes )

The longest side

Answer :

Let us assume the length of the shortest side of the triangle be x cm

∴ According to the question, length of the longest side = 3x cm

And, length of third side = (3x – 2) cm

As, the least perimeter of the triangle = 61 cm

Thus,

= 7x – 2 ≥ 61

= 7x ≥ 63

= x ≥ 9

Hence, the minimum length o the shortest side will be 9 cm
