Question

The perimeter of an isosceles is 162 feet the lenth of one side is 60 feet the other two sides are equal find the kenghts of the other two sides

Answer 1

Each of the other two sides are 51 feet.

Explanation:

Take the perimeter, 162, minus one side, 60.

162 - 60 = 102

Divide 102 by 2 to find the length of each of the other two sides

102/2 = 51 feet

Answer 2

51 feet

Explanation:

Since it's an isosceles triangle, the only side that would be unequal to the other two would be the base, so the base would be the side of 60 feet. Subtract that 60 feet from the given perimeter to get 102. Divide that number by two to get 51 feet as the lengths of the other two sides.
