Question

Two sides of a triangle are equal in length. The length of the third side exceeds the length of one of the other sides by 3 centimetres. The perimeter of the triangle is 93 centimetres. Find the length of each side of the triangle

Answer 1

it must be 30, 30, 33

Explanation:

first, divide 93 by 3, since a triangle has 3 sides, you would get 31, yet if you took away that three in 93, it'd be 30. For that one that exceeds the others by 3, add the three to one of the thirds, and the other two are just the same, so when it said, "exceeds the length of one of the other sides," It didn't really change anything, because the other side is just as long.
