+750 The perimeter of a triangle is an integer. If one side of the triangle is $1$, then what is the smallest possible value of the perimeter? (Assume that the triangle is non-degenerate.)
+1950 The smallest possible perimeter is 3.
Let's say that b is 1.
We would have
a<1c>1
where
a+c=2a>.50c<1.5
An example would be
a=.75b=1c=1.25
Thanks! :)
