Question

the base of a isosceles triangle is 7/2 cm. the perimeter of the triangle is 10 cm. what is the length of either of the equal side

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the length of equal sides be x cm.

Perimeter = x cm + x cm + Base = 10 cm

2x + 7/2 = 10

On transposing 4/3 to R.H.S, we obtain

2x = 10 - 7/2

2x = 10.2/2 - 7/2

2x = 35

On dividing both sides by 2, we obtain

2x/2 = 35/2

x = 17.5

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 4 6/7 cm
