Question

In a triangle of perimeter 1 metre, one side is is 5 centimetre longer than the other. What are the lengths of the side

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let length of 1st side = x metre.

Second side = x+5 metre

Third side = x + 5+5 = x+10 metre.

According to question,

x+ x+5+ x+10 = 100 cm.

3x + 15 = 100

3x = 100-15

3x = 85

x = 85/3

x= 28.333

first side = 28.33

first side = 28.33second side = 33.33

first side = 28.33second side = 33.33third side = 38.33
