Question

9. The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle 5x+3 cm and 7x-7 cm. If the
perimeter of the triangle is 76 cm, find the value of x and the length of the third
side

Answer 1

Answer:

In isosceles triangle two sides are equal,

So,

3x-1=2x+2

x=3

Perimeter=sum of all sides

=3x-1+2x+2+2x

=7x+1

Substituting value of x

Perimeter=7(3)+1

=21+1

=22

Thus x=3 and Perimeter of a triangle=22 square units

Answer 2

Answer:

In isosceles triangle two sides are equal,

So,

3x-1=2x+2

x=3

Perimeter=sum of all sides

=3x-1+2x+2+2x

=7x+1

Substituting value of x

Perimeter=7(3)+1

=21+1

=22

Thus x=3 and Perimeter of a triangle=22 square units
