let x be the length of e third side
\n" ); document.write( "length of other two sides = 4/5 ox x
\n" ); document.write( " = 4x/5
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter (sum of length of all sides) = 117
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284x%2F5%29%2B%284x%2F5%29+%2Bx=+117\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284x%2F5+%29%2B%284x%2F5%29%2B%285x%2F5%29+=117\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284x%2B4x%2B5x%29%2F5x+=117\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+13x%2F5+=117\"$
\n" ); document.write( " multiply with 5 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "{{ (13x/5)*5 =117*5}}}
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+13x++=+585+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " divide with 13 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+13x%2F13+=585%2F13\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x=45\"$
\n" ); document.write( "length of third side(x) = 45
\n" ); document.write( " lengths of other two sides = $\"+%284%2F5%29%2A45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " = $\"+4%2A9\"$
\n" ); document.write( " = 36
\n" ); document.write( "Result : lengths of all three sides as follows 36,36,45 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
