isosceles triangle: base 3cm longer than each of the equal legs
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the length of each side of the isosceles triangle
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + (x+3) = 36cm
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 33cm
\n" ); document.write( "x = 11cm, the length of each side of the isosceles triangle
\n" ); document.write( "base is 14cm \"11%2B3\"
\n" ); document.write( "And... checking
\n" ); document.write( "11cm + 11cm + 14cm = 36cm
\n" ); document.write( "Wish You the Best in your Studies.
