A triangle has a perimeter of 39 inches. If two sides are of equal length and the third side is 3 inches longer than either of the other two, how long is the longest side?

4 answers

Let x = one of the shorter sides.

2x + x + 3 = 39

3x = 36

x = ?
12+12=24
24+6=30
30+9=39
6+9=15
15-12=3
Therefore the two shorter sides are 12cm and the longest side is 15cm.
