The first side of a triangle is 3 meters shorter than the second side. The third side is 4 times as long as the first side. The perimeter is 27 meters.

Find the length of each side.

**Answer: **First side =5 m
** **Second side= 2 m
Third side )=20 m ;

I believe that when you calculate a triangles length that you must add all the sides together to get the perimeter.
Let's say that 3m is side A and 18m (that's what 4 times 3 is)is side B.
Therefore, A + B + C = 27m
The C would be the third side, which seems to be what you're looking for.
So, 3m + 18m = 21m
27m - 21m = 6m

The first side of the triangle is 4 meters long, the second side is 7 meters long, and the third side is 16 meters long. These lengths add up to the total perimeter of 27 meters, which is given in the problem.
