An isosceles triangle has two sides congruent.
If three times the length of the sum of the congruent sides in this triangle is equal to four times the length of the other side, use the table to find the length of the two congruent sides and the length of the third side.
------------------
METHOD
1. Let one of the unknowns be a variable __each congruent side is X
2.Write the other unknown in terms of this variable.
3(2X)=4(remaining side) ; remaining side = (3/2)X
3.Express the problem in terms of the variable.
