Question

3. The base of an isosceles triangle is 4 by 3 The perimeter of the triangle is 62 by 15 . Find the two sides of the triangle
​

Answer 1

Answer:

let each of the two equal sides are x unit

then,

x+x+4/3=62/15

=> 2x=62/15-4/3

=> 2x=(62-20)/15

=> 2x=42/15

=> 2x=14/5

=> x=14/(5×2)

=> x=7/5

so each of two equal sides of the isosceles triangle is 7/5 unit
