Question

each of two equal sides of a triangle is 3 cm less than twice the third side if the perimeter of a triangle is 16 cm find the length of side​

Answer 1

Answer:

let (x)cm  be the third side

two equal sides= (2x-3)cm

perimeter=16cm

x+2x-3+2x-3=16

5x-6=16

5x=16+6=22

x=22/5=4.4cm

the two equal sides are 2x-3

2*4.4-3=5.8cm

sides are 4.4cm,5.8cm and 5.8cm .
