Ok homeschoolers try this problem on finding the longest and shortest sides of the triangle.
Key concepts to remember:

Important habits to master math:
* write out all steps
* be very neat
* use pencil not pen
* review your work as your go
* make sure you know the basics like fractions, positive and negative numbers and order of operations- these are the most common places students make mistakes
