Answer:
6!
Step-by-step explanation:
chord x chord = chord x chord
(5) (n+8) = (7) (n+4)
i just started plugging in numbers
(5) (6+8) = (7) (6+4)
5 x 14 = 7 x 10
70=70

If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.
3x + (x+3) = 19
4x + 3 = 19
4x = 16
x = 4
y= x+3
y= 4+3
y= 7
