Question

the bases of an isosceles triangle is is 4 by 3 cm the perimeter of a triangle is 4 2/15 what is the length of either of the remaining equal sides ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In an isosceles triangle, 2 sides have same length and 3rd side has different length.

Given, length of third side = 4/3 cm

Perimeter = 4 2/15 cm

Since two sides are equal,

4/3 + 2 * other side = 4 2/15 i.e 62/15

2(other side) = 62/15 - 4/3

4/3 * 5/5 = 20/15.

2(other side) = 62/15 - 20/15

2(other side) = 42/15

other side = 42/15/2= 42/30= 21/15

therefore other 2 sides = 21/15

Simplification of 21/15 = 7/5

Length of either of remaining sides = 7/5 cm
