$\"+perimeter+=+base_1+%2B+leg_1+%2B+base_2+%2B+leg_2+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The given information is :\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " base_1 = 68
\n" ); document.write( " base_2 = 54
\n" ); document.write( " perimeter = 176
\n" ); document.write( " The information that it is isosceles tells you leg_1 = leg_2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "—\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"++176+=+68+%2B+54+%2B+leg_1+%2B+leg_2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"++176+=+122+%2B+2%28leg_1%29+\"$ ( because the legs are equal in length)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"++54+=+2%28leg_1%29+\"$

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "___
\n" ); document.write( "Check: 27*2 + 54 + 68 = 54 + 54 + 68 = 176 (= given perimeter, so its ok)\r
