the perimeterof a triangular lot is 72 meters. one side is 32 m. if the other 2 sides are.equal, what is the length of each?

Sagot :

Perimeter of Triangle = Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3

Side 1 = 32 meters
Perimeter - 72 meters
Side 2 = Side 3

72 meters = 32 meters + 2 (Side 2)
72 meters - 32 meters = 2 (Side 2)
40 meters = Side 2
   2
Side 2 = 20 meters

Side 1 = Side 2

Side 1 = 20 meters
Side 2 = 20 meters
P= 72 meters
S1=32 meters
S2=?
S3=?
72-32= 40
40/2= 20
Answer:
S1= 32 meters
S2= 20 meters
S3= 20 meters
