Two equal sides of a triangle are (x + 6) cm and (5x – 2) cm. If the third side is (7x – 4) cm, then find the perimeter of the triangle.
Added by James J.
Step 1
Step 1: Given that two equal sides of the triangle are (x + 6) cm and (5x - 2) cm, we can set them equal to each other: x + 6 = 5x - 2 Show more…

a One side of a triangle is $4 \mathrm{cm}$ longer than another side. The ray bisecting the angle formed by these sides divides the opposite side into $5-\mathrm{cm}$ and $3-\mathrm{cm}$ segments. Find the perimeter of the triangle. b If the first side of the triangle in part a were $x$ cm longer than the second side and the other information were unchanged, find the triangle's perimeter in terms of $x .$
