Question

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

Chapter 10.1, Problem 5E

To determine

To find the length of the two sides of the triangle.

Expert Solution & Answer

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 -

x+x+4=14

Now add both x together

2x+4=14

Subtract 4 from both the sides

2x+4−4=14−4

This gives us

2x=10

Now, divide both sides by 2

2x2=102

This gives us −

x=5

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.
