The sides of a triangular birdcage are consecutive integers. If the perimeter is 114 centimeters, what is the length of each side?

Call the consecutive integers n, n+1, and n+2. One you find n, you can find the other next two numbers. n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 114 3n + 3 = 114 3n = 111 n = 37
Therefore, the three numbers are n (37), n+1 (38), and n+2 (39).

The lengths of the sides of the triangular birdcage are 37 cm, 38 cm, and 39 cm. This was found by setting the sides as consecutive integers and solving for their values based on the given perimeter of 114 cm. Consecutive integers were used because they reflect the nature of the problem stated.
