The sum of the three sides of a triangle is 50. The right side of the triangle is 2 cm longer than the left side. Find the value of the triangle base if the left side has a value of 12 cm.
How long is the right side of the triangle? ** If the left side of the triangle is 12, and the right side is 2 cm longer, the right side is 12+2 = <<12+2=14>>14 cm long.
How long are the sides of the triangle? ** The sum of the left and right sides of the triangle is 14+12 = <<14+12=26>>26 cm.
What is the value of the triangle base? ** If the sum of all sides of the is 50, and the left and right sides of the triangle are 26, the triangle base is 50-26 = <<50-26=24>>24 cm.
