The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 19 cm less than twice as long as the other sides. The perimeter of the triangle is 49 cm. Find the lengths of the three sides. Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! , , and , = the length (in cm) of the two congruent sides (the "other sides"). = the length (in cm) of the shortest side (which is "19 cm less than twice as long as the other sides").
The perimeter (in cm) is
Solving for :
Then, -->
