उत्तर
Given that 5y – 2 & 4y + 9 are the equal sides of an isosceles triangle.
∴ The 2 sides are equal
⇒ 5y – 2 = 4y + 9
∴5y – 4y = 9 + 2 ...(by transposing)
∴ y = 11
∴ 1st side = 5y – 2 = 5 × 11 – 2 = 55 – 2 = 53
2nd side = 53
3rd side = 2y + 5 = 2 × 11 + 5 = 22 + 5 = 27
Perimeter is the sum of all 3 sides
∴ P = 53 + 53 + 27 = 133 units
