Step-by-step explanation:

I don't understand

Answer 2

Answer:

5cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an Isosceles triangle, two sides are of equal length, and the base is 6 cm.

Perimeter = 16cm ... (Given)

Perimeter is the sum total of lengths of all sides

Therefore,

Perimeter = Base + 2 equal sides of the triangle

i.e 16 = 6 + 2x ( Let, the equal sides be x each )

i.e 2x = 10

i.e x = 10/2

i.e x = 5 cm

Therefore, length of each equal side is 5cm.
