Answer:
Two equal sides: 15 centimeters, Third side: 21 centimeters
Explanation:
Sorry If I'm late, so how I solved this was by using variables and algebra. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all three sides. Let's now break down the problem and use the useful information, we know that the perimeter is 51 centimeters, and that there are two equal sides and the third side is 6 inches longer than the two equal sides. So it is pretty much an isosceles triangle since it has two sides of equal length and the third side is not equal to the others. So we can make an equation with variables. 51(Perimeter)=x(first equal side)+x(second equal side)+x(third side)+6(The third side is 6 centimeters longer than the two other sides), now we simplify the equation just like we do with most algebraic equations. x+x+x can be turned into 3x. This now makes the equation 51=3x+6, we can subtract 6 from both sides to just have the variable on one side, 3x+6-6, both sixes cross out making it 3x, 51-6 is equal to 45. Now we divide by three on both sides to give just x and find out what x is. 3x/3=x and 45/3=15. x=15, x is the equal side length, so the two equal sides are 15 centimeters and the third one is 21 centimeters. The reason for this is because 15+6=21. I hope this helped with your learning, if I am wrong please tell me :)
