You can put this solution on YOUR website!
your identification of the triangle is x,x&y which says it is an isosceles triangle then
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+(x+4)=46
\n" ); document.write( "3x+4=46
\n" ); document.write( "3x=46-4
\n" ); document.write( "3x=42
\n" ); document.write( "x=42/3
\n" ); document.write( "x=14 for the equal sides & 14+4=18 for the base.proof
\n" ); document.write( "14+14+18=46
\n" ); document.write( "46=46\r
