Question

in a triangle two sides of the same length the ratio of each of these sides to the third side is 5:3 if the perimeter of the triangle is 65 in find the length of each side of the triangle.?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle equals side 1 plus side 2 plus side 2

           P = s1 + s2 + s3                 side 1 = side 2 =  x

                                                     x/side 3 = 5 / 3

                                                     x  = (5/3) side 3

                                                     x (3/5)  = side 3

                                                 

                                                     perimeter = 65    slove for x

          65  = x + x + 3x/5

         325  = 5x + 5x + 3x

         325  = 13X

          25   = x    equal side 1 and side 2  

          side 3 = 25(3/5)  = 15
