Question 795328: An isosceles triangle has one side of length sqrt(48) and another length sqrt( 12). Find the difference,in the form of k sqrt(3), between the two possible values of the perimeter of the triangle. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! sqrt(48)=sqrt(16*3)=4sqrt(3)
sqrt(12)=2sqrt(3)
.
10sqrt(3)-8sqrt(3)=2sqrt(3)
The figure with a perimeter of 8sqrt(3)is not a triangle however.
