Question

the perimeter of an isosceles triangle in which the equal sides measures 12cm each and third side is 8cm_____. please show the working too ^^

Answer 1

The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 32 centimeters

Explanation:

The perimeter of any figure is the sum of the lengths of outline sides

Let us use this fact to solve our question

∵ The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the lengths of its 3 sides

∵ The triangle is an isosceles triangle

∵ The length of each two equal sides is 12 centimeters

∵ The length of the third side is 8 centimeters

→ Add the lengths of the 3 sides

∴ The perimeter of the triangle = 12 + 12 + 8

∴ The perimeter of the triangle = 32 centimeters

∴ The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 32 centimeters
