Question

A triangle has a perimeter of 50. If two of the side lengths are equal and the third side is five more than the equal sides, what is the length of the third side?

Answer 1

Answer:20units

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 3 sides be a,b,c

where a and b are equal

p = a+b+c

50=2a +(5+a) (according to the condition)

45=3a

a= 15units

Therefore,

c=20units
