Question

Will fan and medal!!!!!

The length of each of the 2 congruent sides of an isosceles triangle is 4x+2. The length of the third side is 2x The perimeter is 29 centimeters.

What is an equation that could be used to find the value of x.

Solve for x and find the length of all three sides.

Answer 1

because do you know that the perimeter of an isoscele triangle is formed by adding the 2 equal lenght side with to the 3rd side length - yes ?

so you know that the length of these two congruent sides is 4x+2 and the 3rd side has a length of 2x

how will get the perimeter ?

Answer 2

i dont know!

Answer 3

P=two equale sides + 3rd side

P=2*(4x+2) +2x

29=2*(4x+2)+2x

yes ? so can you calcule the value of x from this equation ?

Answer 4

yeah, it'll be 5/2 or 2 1/2

Answer 5

29=8x+4+2x
25=10x

x=25/10 =2,5 cm

Answer 6

so now you need to calcule the realy length of sides - how many will them be - ok. ?

Answer 7

just substitute the value of x inside this length of sides 4x+2 and 2x

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

these two equale sides will have 4*2,5 +2 = ? cm and the 3rd will be 2*2,5 cm

right ?
