Question

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).

Chapter 3.6, Problem 7ST2

To determine

Tocalculate:values of x that make the triangle isosceles

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 7ST2

The triangle is isosceles for x=1, 7

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 2x+5, 3x+10, x+12

Formula used:In an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal.

Calculation:

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 2x+5, 3x+10, x+12

As the triangle is isosceles, two sides must be equal.

Case 1: If 2x+5=3x+10

2x+5=3x+10⇒5−10=3x−2x⇒−5=x

For x=−5 , 3x+10=3(−5)+10=−15+10=−5

As side cannot be negative, our supposition is wrong.

2x+5≠3x+10

Case 2: If 2x+5=x+12

2x+5=x+12⇒2x−x=12−5⇒x=7

Case 3: If 3x+10=x+12

3x+10=x+12⇒3x−x=12−10⇒2x=2⇒x=1
