Let the length of the shortest side = x
The two longer sides that are equal = 3x
The are two equal longer sides, so their total is 3x + 3x = 6x
3x+ 3x + x= 35 Collect like terms on the left
7x = 35 Divide by 7 on both sides
x = 35/7
x = 5
Answer
Two long sides -- 15 cm each
Shortest side -- 5 cm
You have the answer if you just do a little bit more but other than that you have your answer
Hey,
I could actually answer the question now, so I am going to put it here as well so the people don't have to read the comments above.
<span>Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse:<span>a² + b² = c²
5² + 5² = c²
25 + 25 = c²
50 = c²
√50=√(c^2 )
7.07 = c
Answer: 7

I would add 24 and 36, to make 60, then I would tack on 13 and get 73.
