The description implies isosceles triangle (two sides are equal).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x for either equal side
\n" ); document.write( "b for base
\n" ); document.write( "What exactly is, \"The base is twice the length of the sides.\"?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This interpretation will be b=2x; if wrong, then you make the other interpretation and solve accordingly.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To continue,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Bx%2Bb=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2Bb=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B2x=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x=64\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=64%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=16\", and \"b=32\".
