Answer 1

The answer you looking for is 36 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

The measure of length of equal side is 36 cm each.

B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles triangle ABC has a perimeter of 96 centimeters.

The base of the triangle is BC and measures 24 cm

We need to find the length of equal side of triangle.

AB=AC

The perimeter of triangle is 96 cm

AB + AC + BC = 96

AB + AB + 24 = 96                          ( ∵ AB=AC)

              2AB = 96-24

              2AB = 72

                AB = 36

Hence, The measure of length of equal side is 36 cm each.
