The perimeter of a triangle is 88 centimeters. If two sides are equally long and the third side is 10 centimeters longer than the others, find the lengths of the three sides. The length of each of the two equally long sides is (centimeters, square centimeters) and the length of the longer side is (square centimeters, centimeters).

The length of each of the two equally long sides is 26 cm

The length of the longer side is 36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of each of the two equal sides be represented by x

The other side = 10 + x

Perimeter of triangle (P) = sum of all sides of the triangle

88 = x + x + 10 + x

88 = 3x + 10

3x = 88 - 10

3x = 78

x = 78/3 = 26

Length of each of the two equally long sides (x) = 26 cm

Length of the longer side = 10 + x = 10 + 26 = 36 cm

the answer is b
