Answer 2

Answer:

5m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Perimeter(P) = 16m

Sides = 5m and 6m

Also,

we know that,

Perimeter is the sum of sides of a polygon, here, triangle.

Now,

Let the third side be x

∴ P = 5 + 6 + x

we know, P = 16

Thus,

$16 = 5+6+x\\\\16 = 11 + x\\\\16 -11 = x\\\\5 = x\\x = 5\\\\\boxed{x=5}$  

 Thus, the third side is 5m long.
