\n" ); document.write( "We know to get the Perimeter of a Triangle is by adding the SIDES --->\"P=X%2BY%2BZ\".
\n" ); document.write( "To get the dimensions of the 3 sides, given the base & the height, we'll sketch an Isosceles Trianglethe for better illustration:
\n" ); document.write( "---->
\n" ); document.write( "It clearly shows, we can get the dimension of X and Y by Pythagorean Theorem.
\n" ); document.write( "For X: \"X%5E2=H%5E2%2B5%5E2=12%5E2%2B5%5E2=144%2B25=269\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"X=sqrt%28169%29=highlight%2813=X%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since it's Isosceles Triangle where \"X=Y\", 2 equal sides. It follows---> \"X=Y=13inches\"
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, \"P=X%2BY%2BZ=13%2B13%2B10=highlight%2836inches%29\", ANSWER
