Question

Can the side length make a triangle 5cm, 1cm and 5cm if not explain?

Answer 1

so

Explanation:

Let's call the length of each of the other two sides x. Since the triangle is isosceles, it has two sides of equal length. Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle can be expressed as 6 + x + x Simplifying this equation, we get 2x + 6 We know that the perimeter is 22 cm so we can set up an equation and solve for x. 22 = 2x + 6 Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get 16 = 2x Dividing both sides by 2, we get x=8
