Use the diagram shown to the right to find the unknown lengths of sides. The perimeter of the triangle is 141 meters


As given by the question
There are given that the perimeter of the triangle is 141 meters.
Now,
From the formula of the perimeter of the triangle:
[tex]P=a+a+a[/tex]Where, a are represent three sides of the given triangle
So,
Put the value of sides into the given formula
Then,
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=a+a+a \\ 141=5x+7x+2+7x+6 \\ 141=19x+8 \\ 19x=141-8 \\ 19x=133 \\ x=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, put the value x into all side
So,
The length of side measuring 5x is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x=5\times7 \\ =35 \end{gathered}[/tex]The length of side measuring (7x+2) is;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7x+2=7(7)+2 \\ =49+2 \\ =51 \end{gathered}[/tex]And,
The length of sides measuring (7x+6) is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7x+6=7(7)+6 \\ =49+6 \\ =55 \end{gathered}[/tex]
