Question

An isosceles triangle is such that each of its equal sides is 3 more than its
unequal side. If the perimeter is 36cm. Calculate the measure of each side.

Answer 1

Answer:

An isosceles triangle is such that each of its equal sides is 3 more than its

unequal side. If the perimeter is 36cm. Calculate the measure of each side.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Measure of each side is - equal sides will be 13 cm and unequal side will be 10 cm.

Isosceles triangle is marked by presence of two equal sides and third unequal side. Let unequal side be X cm. Therefore, equal side as mentioned in question will be - X+3.

Perimeter is the sum of all sides.

Hence,

X + X+3 + X+3 = 36

3x + 6 = 36

3x = 30

X = 10 cm.

Hence, equal sides will be 13 cm and unequal side will be 10 cm.
