Algebra.Com's Answer #366800 by mananth(16946) You can put this solution on YOUR website! let the vertex be A where the legs meet\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "legs are 10 cm each \n" ); document.write( "B & C are the vertices of the base\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Law of Sines\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a/sin 72 = 10/Sin 54 = c/Sin 54\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a= 10*sin 72/Sin 54 \n" ); document.write( "a= 11.75\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the perimeter = 11.75+10+10 \n" ); document.write( "perimeter = 31.75 cm \n" ); document.write( " |
