An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has one pair of equal sides. The Formula in finding the perimeter of a triangle is PΔ=S₁+S₂+S₃. Since two legs are missing, and the given are the base and perimeter, we will use the formula : S₁+S₂ = PΔ-S₃, where: S₁+S₂ are the legs and <span>S₃ is the base.
Substitute values:
</span><span>S₁+S₂ = 43cm - 7 cm
</span>          = 36 cm
since S₁ and S₂ are equal, divide 36cm by 2. Therefore S₁ and <span>S₂ measures 18cm.
Check: </span><span>PΔ=S₁+S₂+S₃
</span><span>                 = 18cm + 18 cm + 7cm
                 = 43cm

x+x+x+7 is perimeter = 43

3x+7=43

3x=36

x=12

Suppose the area of a circle is 4π. What is its diameter?
mart [117]
Area=pi times radius^2 so

if area=4pi=pi times r^2
4 times pi=r^2 times pi
divide both sdies by pi
4=r^2
square root
2=radius since legnth cannot be negative

radius=1/2 diamters
2 radius=diameter
2(2)=diameter=4
diameter=4

The radius is 2 and area = r^2*pi so 4*pi gives you 12.56 so the exact answer would be 12.56 and the answer with pi would be 4 times 3.14!
