The length of the longest slide is 5 inches. he other two sides will be 4  inches in length.

<h3>Length of the longest slide</h3>

Isosceles triangle

Given:

Total length=13 inches

Hence:

AC=BC<AB

Let AC=BC=x-1 inches

AB=x inches

Thus:

x-1+(x-1)+x=13

3x-2=13

3x=13+2

3x=15

divide both side by 3x

x=15/3

x=5 inches

Hence:

Other two side

x-1=5-1=4 inches

Therefore the length of the longest slide is 5 inches. he other two sides will be 4  inches in length.
