Question 1 of

The distance around a triangle is 42 centimeters. If two sides are equal and the length of the third side is 8 centimeters, what is the length of each of the other two sides?

Answer 1

Perimeter is 42

a + b + c = 42

two sides are equal

a + a + c = 42

c = 8

a + a + 8 = 42

2a + 8 = 42

2a = 34

a = 17 cm
