The Perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 36cm. The total length of the two equal legs is 12 more then one-half the length of the base. find the lengths of three sides.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the base be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Total length of 2 equal sides is (x/2)+12
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = x + (x/2)+12 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "(3/2)x + 12 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "(3/2)x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2/3)24 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "Then (x/2)+12 = 20 cm
\n" ); document.write( "So each of the equal sides is 10cm
\n" ); document.write( "========================
\n" ); document.write( "base = 16 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Each equal side = 10 cm
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================
