The first side of a triangle is 8m shorter than the second side. The third side is 4 times the first side. The perimeter is 26 m. Find the length of each side.
z= second side
z-8 = first side
4 (z-8) = third side
z + z -8 + 4 (z-8) = 26
6z - 40=26
6z=66
z=11 second side z-8 = 3 is first side third side 4(z-8) = 12
