The triangle is isosceles. I forgot to mention that.

let one side be 4+x.
according to question base is 24cm then 4+x = 24
x= 24 - 4.
x= 20cm
since all sides of triangle are equal the perimeter will be 20 +20 +20= 60cm.
according to question base is 24cm then 4+x = 24
x= 24 - 4.
x= 20cm
since all sides of triangle are equal the perimeter will be 20 +20 +20= 60cm.
This answer is wrong

Since sides are equal, it is equilateral triangle.
Perimeter = 3×24 = 72 cm
Area = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × 24 × (24-4) = 240 cm2
Perimeter = 3×24 = 72 cm
Area = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × 24 × (24-4) = 240 cm2
It is not the correct answer
oh.. is it? Can you explain where is wrong
well the answers dont match
It is an isosceles triangle. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
