    We have three sides in this triangle,

    first side=2x

    second side=x

    third side=x+6

    Perimeter of a triangle=sum of all sides.

    Then, we can suggest this equation:

    (2x) + x + (x+6) = 62

    4x+6=62

    4x=62-6

    4x=56

    x=56/4

    x=14

    first side=2x=2 (14) = 28 cm

    second side=14 cm

    third side=x+6=14+6=20 cm

    The length of the sides would be: 28 cm, 14 cm and 20 cm.
