Question

The perimeter of a isclose triangle is 24in and the length of the side is 4 in find the 2 other sides

Answer 1

Answer:

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Isosceles Triangle

$Perimeter=24\ in$

$Side = 4\ in$

Required

Find the length of the other two sides

Represent the other sides with x.

Since it is an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal.

So, we have:

$x + x + 4 = 24$

$2x + 4 = 24$

Collect Like Terms

$2x = 24-4$

$2x = 20$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{20}{2}$

$x = \frac{20}{2}$

$x = 10$

The other sides are 10in each
