Answer:

  • 3 cm or 18.75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third side is x.

<u>According to Triangle-angle-bisector theorem, we have the possible ratios:</u>

  • x/7.5 = 2/5

or

  • x / 7.5 = 5/2

<u>Solve for x in each case:</u>

1)

  • x = 7.5*2/5 = 3 cm

2)

  • x = 7.5*5/2 = 18.75 cm

UkoKoshka [18]
X^2(2y+5)=240

x^2+(10+5)=240
x^2+15=240
minus 15 both sides
x^2=225
sqrt both sides
