Question

the perimeter of an isocelus triangle is 32.if the ratio of the equal side to its base is 2:3 find its base​

Answer 1

Answer:

96/7 (ps.recheck the question)

Step-by-step explanation:

so perimeter of a triangle = two equal sides + base

let equal sides be 'x' and base be 'y'

so , perimeter=2x+y

now we get the equation  32=2x+y......(1)

now the ratio of equal side to base is 2:3

so we know that  2x : 3x .....(2)

now we can merge the 2 equations

32=2*2x+3x

32=4x+3x

32/7=x

now the base =3x

so 3*32/7=96/7
