Question

the base of an isosceles triangle is 5/3 cm .if the perimeter of the triangle is 43/6 cm, find the length of the remaining equal sides.

Please give step by step explanation​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given length of base =5/3 and,

Perimeter of the triangle =43/6

Let the length of other two sides of the isosceles triangle be (x)

perimeter of triangle =sum of all sides

43/6=5/3+x+x

43/6–5/3=2x

43–10/6=2x

(33/6)×(1/2)=x

therefore, x= 11/4cm
