Isosceles triangle, perimeter if the perimeter of isosceles triangle abc is 20 and the length of side ac is 8, what is one possi
ble value for the length of side bc?
2 answers:
The perimeter = 20 and AC = 8
Now as it is not mentioned which sides are equal of the isosceles triangle ABC,
We have two possible situations.
1)
If AC is the base
In that case AB = BC
Now AC = 8, AB = x , BC = x
So x + x + 8 = 20
2x + 8 = 20
2x = 12
x = 6
AB = BC = 6
2)
IF AC is not the base,
Then
AC = BC or AC = AB
So BC = 8 or AB = 8
If AB = AC = 8
Then
BC + 8 + 8 = 20
BC = 4
So there are two possible lengths of BC
Either it is BC = 8 or BC = 6 or BC = 4

Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-4, 2, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attachment for the output of a calculator that produces the reduced row-echelon form of the matrix.
The [x, y, z] result vector is the column on the right.
(x, y, z) = (-4, 2, 1)
_____
Numerous web sites are available for computing the row-reduced form of the matrix, or for solving the system of equations. Your graphing calculator will do it as well.
