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
