a triangle with a whole number sides has a perimeter 6 how many sides have the same lenght
Let me give you a hint.
Think of all the different ways in which you can add three whole numbers (the lengths of the three sides) to get 6 (the perimeter). You'll find that there are 3 ways to do that, of which 2 will be invalid because of a certain property of triangles, and the remaining will tell you how many sides have the same length.
Try this and if it doesn't help, come back and ask again.
To find out how many sides of equal length a triangle with a whole number sides and a perimeter of 6 has, let's consider the possible whole number lengths for each side of the triangle.
Since the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its sides, we need to find the combinations of three whole numbers that add up to 6.
Let's start by listing all the possible combinations:
1 + 1 + 4 = 6
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
From these combinations, we see that there are two possible triangles that satisfy the given conditions. However, one of them has two sides of 1 unit length, which are not unique sides. So, in this case, only one side has the same length.
Therefore, there is only one side that has the same length in a triangle with whole number sides and a perimeter of 6.
