Question

A triangle has a perimeter of 50. If 2 of its

Answer 1

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equal sides of the triangle be x.

Then the third side will be (x+5) units

Since the perimeter is 50, we have:

$x + x + (x + 5) = 50$

We simplify to get:

$3x + 5 = 50$

This implies that:

$3x = 50 - 5$

$3x = 45$

Divide both sides by 3 to get:

$x = \frac{45}{3} = 15$

The length of the third side is:

15+5=20
