A scalene triangle where all sides are different lengths. The base of the triangle, labeled 3 a, is three times that of the shortest side, a. The other side is labeled b.
Which equation can be used to find the value of b if side a measures 8.7 cm?
8.7 plus b equals 54.6
17.4 plus b equals 54.6
26.1 plus b equals 54.6
34.8 plus b equals 54.6
