______________________________________________________________________________
The two equal SIDES of an isosceles triangle are three inches more then the base. If the perimeter is at least 121 inches, describe the length of the base.
______________________________________________________________________________


b = size of the base.
each side length is b+3.

Perimeter of the isosceles triangle would be 2%28b%2B3%29%2Bb%3E=121
2b%2B6%2Bb%3E=121
3b%2B6%3E=121
3b%3E=115
b%3E=115%2F3
highlight%28b%3E=38%261%2F3%29
