The perimeter of triangle ABC is 62. BC = 17, AB = CA. Find the AB side.

The perimeter of the triangle is found by the formula P = a + b + c.

In our case

P = BC + AC + AB.

Subtract the length of the BC side (17 cm) from the perimeter of the triangle (62 cm) and find out the sum of the lengths of the AC + AB sides.

62 – 17 = 45 (cm) – AC + AB

Since AC = AB

45: 2 = 22.5 (cm)

Answer: 22.5 cm length of side AB.
