Answer by lyra(94) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
from your problem I am assuming that the legs are equal, and that "the base is 4 inches greater than the legs" means that the sum of the legs +4 =base. If this isn't what you meant please let me know.

Hope this helps and feel free to contact me with further questions,
