Question

Two sides of a triangle are equal in length. The length of the third side exceeds the length of one of the other sides by 3 centimeters. The perimeter of the triangle is 93 centimeters. Find the length of each of the shorter sides of the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

X+x+x+3=93

3x+3=93

X+1=93/3

X+1=31

X=30

Answer 2

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two sides which are equal will be ‘x’. So the third side will be 'x+3′.

Perimeter is the sum of three sides, hence

x + x + x+3 = 93

3x + 3 = 93

3x = 93–3 = 90

x = 90/3 = 30

Hence the triangle side which are equal have length 30 inch & third has length 33 inch.
