Question

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 24 cm the length of its sides is 13 cm less than the length of its base .find the length of all sides of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 24cm

length of other two sides be x (isoceles trianglehas two sides equal)

lenght of base = x + 13

x + x + x + 13 = 24

x+x+x = 24-13

x+x+x = 11

3x = 11

x = 11/3

x = 3.7 (approx)(original is 3.6666666666...or3.6666666667)

sides of triangle = a=3.7cm,b=3.7cm,c=16.7cm

hope it helps you.
