One side of a triangle is ‘ s’ cm. The second side is 8 cm more than the first side. The third side is 4 cm less than the first side. Write the algebraic expressions for all the sides About the author Ava
Answer: Let first side of triangle = x second side of triangle = x+8 Third side of triangle = x-4 x+(x+8)+(x-4) =180 3x+4 = 180 3x = 180-4 3x = 176 x = 176/3 first side of triangle =176/3 second side of triangle = 176/3 + 8 = 200/3 Third side of triangle = 176/3 – 4 = 164/3 Thanks for asking this question Reply
Answer:
Let first side of triangle = x
second side of triangle = x+8
Third side of triangle = x-4
x+(x+8)+(x-4) =180
3x+4 = 180
3x = 180-4
3x = 176
x = 176/3
first side of triangle =176/3
second side of triangle = 176/3 + 8
= 200/3
Third side of triangle = 176/3 – 4
= 164/3
