Answer:
dimensions are 23, 23 ,9
Step-by-step explanation:
3rd side = length "x"
2 side lengths = 3x - 4.
3x - 4 + 3x - 4 + x = 55
7x - 16 = 55
7x -16 + 16 = 55 + 16
7x = 63
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
substitute value of "x" in 3x - 4,
3x - 4
3(9) - 4
27 - 4
23
hence the dimensions of triangle are 23, 23, 9

Let the third side = x
Then, the equal sides = 3x-4
Perimeter = Sum of all sides
55 m = x + (3x-4) + (3x-4)
55 = x+3x-4+3x-4
55 = 7x-8
55+8 = 7x
63 = 7x
x = 63/7
x = 9
Equal sides = 3×9-4
Equal sides = 23 m
Third side = 9 m
[Note : In the question, you have done a typing mistake and mentioned different units for sides (m) and perimeter (cm), so I took metre as the unit but you can check and use any of the units]
