Question

perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32cm. the base is 6/5 times the equal side .what is the area​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one side be x

Then the equal sides be 2x

The base is 6/5 times of x

Then base is 6x/5

Perimeter is 32

Perimeter = 2x + 6x/5

32 = 2x x 5/1 x 5 + 6x/5

32 = 10x/5 + 6x/5

32 = (10x + 6x)/5

32 x 5 = 16x

160 = 16x

160/16 = x

x = 10

The equal sides are 10, 10

Base = 10 x 6/5

=2 x 6

=12
