The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 15.6 m. find the lengths of its sides, if: chapter reference a the base is 3 m smaller than a leg

We know that an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides.

We can represent the equal sides with x, and the base with y:

2x + y = 15.6

Given states that y = x - 3, so:

2x + x - 3 = 15.6

3x = 18.6

x  = 6.2

y = 3.2

The sides are 6.2 m, and the base is 3.2 m.

did you get the answer yet?

step-by-step explanation:

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
