The length of the base of the isosceles triangle is: 27 units long.

<h3>What is an isosceles Triangle?</h3>

A triangle with two equal legs and a base is called an isosceles triangle.

Thus:

Let x represent the length of each of the equal legs of the isosceles triangle.

Therefore:

The length of the base = 1 1/2(x) = 1.5x units

Perimeter = 63

Therefore:

x + x + 1.5x = 63

3.5x = 63

x = 63/3.5

x = 18

The length of the base = 1.5x units

Plug in the value of x

The length of the base = 1.5(18) = 27 units

Therefore, the length of the base of the isosceles triangle is: 27 units long.

<h3>What is Power?</h3>

Power is the rate at which work is  being  done on an object. It is also the rate at which energy is transferred from one place to another.

Power is the amount of work completed or energy released per unit time.

The SI unit for power is the watt (W), and is given as
