You can put this solution on YOUR website! the perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 49m. if the base is twice the side, what is the length of the side?
----
Let each of the equal sides be "x".
Then base 2x.
----
Equation:
x + x + 2x = 49m
---
4x = 49m
x = (49/4)meters = 12 1/4 meters (length of each of the equal sides)
