Question

A piece of wire is 36cm long. what is the length of each side if wire is used to form an isosceles triangle with equal sides 14cm

Answer 1

total length of wire=36cm
let the third side of the isosceles triangle be x
so, perimeter of triangle=sum of all sides

thus , 36=14+14+x
36-28=x
8cm=x

thus sides of the triangle are 14cm,14cm,8cm

hope it helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two sides of isosceles triangle are congruent

Let sides be x y z respectively

Let x=14

Y= 14 isosceles triangle

Length of isosceles triangle is 32

x+y+z=32

14+14+z=32

28+z=32

Z=32-24

Z=4

Length of sides are 14 14 4 respectively
