Answer:

Base of the original triangle is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x  

two equal legs  of triangles by y

therefore perimeter of triangle

                       x+y+y = 50 or x+2y =50

according to the question

 if base is x+3 and leg is y-4

then both are equal

   that is x+3 = y-4

            y-x = 7 or y =x+7

   x+2y =50

   x+2(x+7) = 50

    x+2x +14 =50

     3x +14 =50

     3x = 50 -14

      3x = 36

      x = 12

therefore base of the original  triangle is 12 cm
