Question 284673: An isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 78 cm and one side measures 28 cm. How many different triangles could have a perimeter of 78 cm? Give the dimensions of each. Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are infinite number of triangles that could have a perimeter of 78 cm.
another poorly worded problem or poorly copied problem.
if 28 is the base then the equal sides are 25 each
if the base is not 28 then the other equal side is also 28 78-56=22
So one triangle would be 25, 25 and 28
the other would be 28, 28 and 22
