The equal sides of an isosceles triangle are 2 cm shorter than the length of the third side. If the perimeter of the triangle is 35 cm, find the length of the third side.​ with the formula pl

• Equal sides of an isosceles triangle = 2cm shorter than the length of the third side.

• Length of the third side.

Let the third side be c.

Also, two equal sides be a and b.

According to the question,

a = ( Third side - 2 ) cm

a = ( c - 2 ) cm

Similarly, length of b(second side) will also be same as a and b are two equal sides of an isosceles triangle.

b = ( c - 2 ) cm

Now, we know that :

★ Perimeter of ∆ = Sum of all sides

35 = a + b + c

35 = (c - 2) + (c - 2) + c

35 = c - 2 + c - 2 + c

35 = c + c + c - 2 - 2

35 = 3c - 4

35 + 4 = 3c

39 = 3c

= c

13 = c

So, third side of the triangle is 13 cm.

1/3 + 1/5 = 8/15.
