triangle ABC
Perimeter = 15
height = x+1
base = x
find the value of x
Answer by kevwill(135) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There is not enough information in the problem description to find a single value for x. Is this a specific type of triangle? Is there a diagram with the original problem that puts some constraints on the triangle?

Given any sufficiently small x, I can always construct a triangle with a perimeter of 15, even if x = 0.001
