Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let equal sides of an isosceles triangle = a inches

Base = \frac{1}{2}a+2 inches

Perimeter  = 32 inches

a + a + \frac{1}{2}a+2 = 32

2a + \frac{1}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\\frac{2a*2}{1*2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{4a}{2}+\frac{1}{2}a+2=32\\\\\frac{5}{2}a+2 = 32\\\\

Subtract 2 from both sides

\frac{5}{2}a=32-2\\\\\frac{5}{2}a=30\\\\a=30*\frac{2}{5}\\\\a=6*2

a = 12 inches

base = \frac{1}{2}*12+2

        = 6 + 2

Base = 8 inches

What is the value of X?
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

w = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of w:

 We know that the three angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees

w + w + (4w-6) =180

Add like terms

6w-6 = 180

Add 6 to each side

6w -6+6 =180+6

6w = 186

Divide each side by 6

6w/6 = 186/6

w = 31
