To find the side of the length of the
Answer to Problem 25E
My friend is wrong and can find out the length of the triangle. The length of the triangle is 5cm, 6cm ,6cm
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Perimeter of the triangle is given as 17cm
The triangle is an isosceles triangle, hence two sides are same
One side of the length is given as 5cm
Calculation:
The perimeter of the triangle is17cm and one side if the triangle is 5cm
Since, it is an Isosceles triangle, two sides are same. Let the side be as x
Add both x together. It will give us
Subtract 5 from both the sides
This gives us −
Now, divide both sides by 2
This will give us-
Hence, one side of the triangle is 5cm and the other two sides are 6cm each.
Conclusion- My friend is wrong, the sides of the triangle can be found with the information provided.
