Answer :
Answer: An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. The length of one of the equal sides is two more than 3 times the length of the third side. If the perimeter is 46m, find the length of each side.
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is equal to the lengths of all the sides.
Let x equal the two sides that are equal to each other.
Then the 3rd side is 2x - 1 which is 2 times the length of the equal side minus 1.
So the perimeter 23 = x + x + (2x-1)
Now solve for x
23 = x + x + 2x - 1
add 1 to both sides
24 = x + x + 2x
24 = 4x
x = 6
The two equal sides would be 6 feet each
The other side would be 2(6) - 1 = 11
The perimeter is 6 + 6 + 11 = 23
