To find the length of the two sides of the
Answer to Problem 5E
The length of the other two sides are 5 meters each
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 14 meters
Length of one side is 4 meters
Length of remaining two sides are same
Calculation:
Perimeter of the triangle is 14 meters
Length of one side is given as 4 meters
Let the length of one side of triangle be x
Since two sides of the triangle are same -
Now add both x together
Subtract 4 from both the sides
This gives us
Now, divide both sides by 2
This gives us −
This gives us the value of the unknown side which is 5 meters each
Conclusion- The length of one side is 4 meters and the length of the other two sides are 5 meters each. Hence, the total perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 14 meters.
