The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sides \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) of the triangle given the conditions \( (s-a) = 5 \, \text{cm} \), \( (s-b) = 10 \, \text{cm} \), and \( (s-c) = 1 \, \text{cm} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Semi-Perimeter**: The semi-perimeter \( s \) of a triangle is defined as: \[ s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} \] This means: \[ a + b + c = 2s \] 2. **Setting Up the Equations**: From the given conditions, we can express \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) in terms of \( s \): - From \( s - a = 5 \): \[ a = s - 5 \] - From \( s - b = 10 \): \[ b = s - 10 \] - From \( s - c = 1 \): \[ c = s - 1 \] 3. **Adding the Equations**: Now, we add the three equations: \[ (s - a) + (s - b) + (s - c) = 5 + 10 + 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3s - (a + b + c) = 16 \] 4. **Substituting for \( a + b + c \)**: We know from the semi-perimeter definition that \( a + b + c = 2s \). Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ 3s - 2s = 16 \] Therefore: \[ s = 16 \, \text{cm} \] 5. **Finding the Values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \)**: Now that we have \( s \), we can find \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): - For \( a \): \[ a = s - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11 \, \text{cm} \] - For \( b \): \[ b = s - 10 = 16 - 10 = 6 \, \text{cm} \] - For \( c \): \[ c = s - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Values: Thus, the sides of the triangle are: - \( a = 11 \, \text{cm} \) - \( b = 6 \, \text{cm} \) - \( c = 15 \, \text{cm} \)
