Question
Find the actual length of the missing sides of the equilateral triangle below.
Step1
Step 2
- Collect like terms
- 3x=11+1
- *When 1crosses the equal sign it becomes positive that is to addition.
Step 3
- Solve the equation to get the value of x
- 3x=12
- Divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x
- X=4
To show that the sides are equal
- Replace x with 4
- 3x-1 =11
- 3×4=12
- 12-1=11
Therefore all the sides are equal
