\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the length of the first side.  (x+5cm) the other two sides
\n" );
document.write( "Question states*** Perimeter being the lenfth of all sides
\n" );
document.write( " x +  (x+5cm) +  (x+5cm) = 37cm
\n" );
document.write( "solving forx
\n" );
document.write( "   3x + 10c = 37cm
\n" );
document.write( "       3x = 27cm
\n" );
document.write( "        x = 9cm, length of first side. The other two sides are 14cm and 14cm \n" );
document.write( "
