Let x = the length of one of the congruent sides.
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter (P) can be expressed as:
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+x%2Bx%2B3x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+5x\" Substitute P = 75.
\n" ); document.write( "\"75+=+5x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+15\" The lengths of the sides are:
\n" ); document.write( "15cm., 15cm., and 45cm.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
