Question

Find the value of x and the length of each side ​

Answer 1

The 3 sides of the triangle are  PR =  8.4, OR =  5.4 and OP =  3.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

PR = 3x - 0.6

OP = x +  0.1

OR = x + 2.4

Also the 2 sides OR and PR are said to be equal.

So we have OR = PR

=> 3x - 0.6 =  x + 2.4

=>  x = 2.4 + 0.6 => x = 3

Step 2 :

we have ,

PR = 3x - 0.6 = 3(3) - 0.6 = 8.4

OR =  x + 2.4 = 3 + 2.4 = 5.4

OP = x + 0.1 = 3 + 0.1 = 3.1

Step 3 :

Answer :

The 3 sides of the triangle are

PR =  8.4

OR =  5.4

OP =  3.1
