14) The perimeter of this isosceles triangle is represented by the
polynomial 15p + 12. Write a simplified polynomial for the length of the
unknown side.
Help and pls explain ​

Sagot :

The isosceles triangle is missing so i have attached it.

Answer:

Length of unknown side = 5p + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In isosceles triangle, two of the sides are equal. In the attached triangle, we see that one of the equal sides is given as 5p + 3.

Thus,the second equal side is also 5p + 3.

Now, perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three sides.

We have two sides and let the third side be denoted as x.

Thus;

Perimeter = (5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x

We are given perimeter = 15p + 12

Thus;

(5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x = 15p + 12

10p + 6 + x = 15p + 12

Rearranging, we have;

x = 15p - 10p + 12 - 6

x = 5p + 6
