Question

The perimeter of a triangle is 83 centimeters. If two sides are equally long and the third side is 8 centimeters longer than the others, find the lengths of the three sides.

Answer 1

25, 33

Explanation:

let the length of the one with equal sides be x

third side = x+8

x+x+x+8 = 83

3x+8 = 83

3x = 75

x = 25

x+8 = 25+8 = 33
