Question

If the perimeter of the triangle is 32 cm what is the length of each two sides? Write and solve equation

Answer 1

12 centimeters

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides which are legs(2 sides having same length )If x is length of each leg, then we ca write the equation like this

equation: x+x+8=32

combine like terms

2x +8 = 32

minus 8 from each side

2x=32-8

2x=24

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 24/2

x=12 centimeters
