document.write( "Question 757459: What is the perimeter of a triangle that gives 2sides that are the same length (5\"), the base which is 6\" and a line down the middle forming a right angle with a length of 4\"? It's for my daughter who is in 4th grade and they did not teach her this yet and as good as I am in math I couldn't figure it out. Can someone please help me? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The perimeter is just the length of all sides added up.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case you said two sides were 5\" and the last side was 6\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adding them all up you get 5\" + 5\" + 6\" = 16\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of the triangle is found by multiplying base times height then dividing by 2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29%2Ab%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%281%2F2%29%2A6%2A4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+12\"
