The length of each congruent side of the isosceles triangle is given to be equal 2.75 inches while the base calculated to be equal to 23.5 inches
<h3>How to solve for the congruent sides</h3>
We first have to define x as the length of the congruent side. The question tells us that the base is 7 inches longer than 3x the length of 2 sides
This would be represented as:
= 3(2x) + 7
= 6x + 7
The perimeter of the shape is said to be 29, hence we would have
x + x + (6x + 7) = 29
= 2x + 6x + 7 = 29
= 8x = 29 - 7
8x = 22
x = 22 / 8
= 2.75
Given the value of x we would have to put it in
6x + 7
= 6 x 2.75 + 7
= 23.5
Therefore the length of each congruent side of the isosceles triangle is given to be equal 2.75 inches while the base calculated to be equal to 23.5 inches
