Answer:

Side a = 35ft

Side b = 35ft

Side c = 20ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

In an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal to each other.

So, Side a = Side b

In the question, we are told that:

The two equal sides are each 5 ft less than twice the length of the third side.

Hence,

a = 2c - 5

b = 2c - 5

P = 90ft

P = a + b + c

90 = 2c - 5 + 2c - 5 + c

Collect like terms

90 = 5c - 10

90 + 10 = 5c

100 = 5c

c = 100/5

c = 20

The length of the third side = 20ft

a = 2c - 5

= 2 × 20 - 5

= 40 - 5

= 35 ft

b =2c - 5

= 2 × 20 - 5

= 40 - 5

= 35 ft

Therefore,

Side a = 35ft

Side b = 35ft

Side c = 20ft
