two sides of a triangle have the same length. the third side measures 3 meters less than twice the common length. the perimeter of the triangle is 17 meters. what are the lengths of the three sides?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let the lenght of two sides be x respectively.
Then, lenght of third side=2x-3
Given,
2x+2x-3=17
or, 4x-3=17
or, 4x=17+3
or, x=20/4
or, x=5
