Answer:

22cm,24cm,24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call one of the other sides x

the shortest side = 2x-26

in an isosceles, 2 sides are equal (x in this case)

so we now have sides of x,x and 2x-26

form an eqution from this.

4x-26=70

4x=96

x=24

24 x 2 = 48 - 26 = 22

thus, the shortest side is 22cm and the other sides are both 24cm

Answer:

The lengths of the three sides in ascending order is.

_22__cm, __24__cm, __24__cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the length of its three sides.

By definition, an isosceles triangle has two equal sides.

We know that the short side measures  26 cm less than twice as long as the other sides, and that the other two sides are of equal length.

We also know that the perimeter of the triangle is 70 cm

Then we propose the following equation

P = b + 2s

Where P is the perimeter, b is the shortest side of the triangle and s is the length of the equal sides.

Then:

b= 2s -26

We substitute this equation in the first equation and solve for s

P = 2s -26 + 2s

P = 4s -26=70

4s -26=70

4s=70 +26

4s=96

s=\frac{96}{4}

s=24

Then

b= 2(24) -26

b= 22

Solve the equation 7/z-1 = 9/z+4
algol [13]

Answer:

z is equal to 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When an equation is in the format a/b = c/d, the quickest way to simplify it is to cross multiply.  Each side is multiplied by the other sides denominator, eliminating the division:

\frac{7}{z-1} = \frac{9}{z + 4}\\7(z + 4) = 9(z - 1)\\7z + 28 = 9z - 9\\7z - 9z = -9 - 28\\-2z = -37\\z = 37/2\\z = 18.5

So z is equal to 18.5
