\n" ); document.write( " each of the equal sides in an isosceles triangle exceeds the base by 5 in. if the perimeter is 100in., what are the lengths of the three sides ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Let the base of an isosceles triangle = x in
\n" ); document.write( " then the equal sides of the triangle = x+5 in
\n" ); document.write( " the perimeter of the triangle is = 100 in
\n" ); document.write( " perimeter of the triangle = sum of all the three sides of the triangle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " p = x+(x+5)+(x+5)
\n" ); document.write( " 100 = 3x+10
\n" ); document.write( " 100-10 = 3x
\n" ); document.write( " 3x = 90
\n" ); document.write( " x = 90/3 = 30
\n" ); document.write( " The sides of the triangle are x = 30 inch
\n" ); document.write( " x+5 = 30+5 = 35 inch
\n" ); document.write( " x+5 = 30+5 = 35 inch
\n" ); document.write( "
