Question

A silk scarf is in the shape of an isosceles triangle.Each of the two equal sides of the scraf are 8cm more than twice the third side.If the perimeter of scarf is 71cm,find the length of the sides of the scarf? answer fast because it's urgent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the third side is 11 cm and the two equal sides are 30 cm each.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the third side be x cm.

so, the two equal sides are 2x+8 cm each.

now,

x+2x+8+2x+8= 71

5x+16= 71

5x=71-16

5x= 55

x= 55/5

x= 11

x= third side= 11 cm

2x+8= 30 cm

2x+8= 30 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

11cm,30cm and 30cm

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION →

let the third side be = 'x' cm

let the two equal sides be = (2x+8)cm

given : perimeter = 71cm

therefore, according to the Question →

=>x+2(2x+8) = 71

=>x+4x+16=71

=>5x=55

=>x=11

therefore, the third side is = 11cm

now, each of the two equal sides = 2x+8

=22+8

=30cm ( each of the two )

hope this helped

thanks !!
