15. The base of an isosceles triangle is 6 cm and its perimeter is 16 cm. Length of each of the
equal sides is
(a) 4 cm
b) 5 cm
(c) 3 cm
(d) 6 cm
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

OPTION (B) IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

Base=6cm

Perimeter=16cm

Let two sides of triangle be x

(in an isosceles triangle 2 sides are equal) (base and an adjacent side cannot be equal)

Therefore;

x+x+6=16

2x+6=16

2x=16-6

2x=10

x=10/2

x=5

Length of equal side is 5cm

Answer 2

Length of each of the equal sides is 5 cm
