Question

State whether true or false: In an isosceles triangle whose perimeter is 16 cm, the base is x cm and the measure of each equal leg is y cm, the equation representing the situation in the form of an equation in two variables is x + 2 y – 16 = 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

true

x=base

y=equal sides (isosceles triangle have two equal sides )

perimeter=x+y+y

16=x+2y

therefore

x+2y-16=0
