Solve the problem below by definning a variable and then writing and solving an equation.


The perimeter of a triangle is 31 cm. Sides #1 and #2 have equal length, while side #3 is is one centimeter shorter than twice the lenght of side #1. How long is each side?

Respuesta :

Answer:

sides 1 and 2 would have to be 8 and side 3 would be 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the problem since two sides have to be equal that means that their sum cannot be over 20 since that would make the triangle above its actual perimeter

So looking at numbers 1-9 and seeing which ones can add up to something like 9+2 or 6+5, that would add to eleven with one number being less

16 works since it can add to 15 (2*8 -1) and make 31
