This Week's Challenge:
A builder was contracted to build two triangular
buildings. The smaller one was to be 45 meters
around and the bigger one 162 meters.
When he got to the lot to lay out the perimeters,
he could not remember how long each wall needed to
be. He did recall that in both buildings each wall was
a different size: The second wall was one meter
longer than the first, and one meter shorter than the
third. How long does each wall need to be?
