You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let sides be ,, and
if two sides of a triangle have the same length,we know that
if the third side measures less than the common length, we have
the perimeter is and formula is: ...since and we have
than too
and ->->->
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let = each of the sides of the same length = the length of the 3rd side
and
---------------------
The lengths of the sides are:
4m, 4m, and 6m
----------------------
The sides with the same length are 4m and 4m
-------------
check:
OK
