Question 485614
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the measure of one of the legs.  Then, since this is an isosceles triangle, the other leg must also measure *[tex \Large x].  We are also given that the base is *[tex \Large 2x\ -\ 7].  Finally, since we know that the perimeter of any polygon is the sum of the measures of all of the sides, we can write:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ x\ +\ 2x\ -\ 7\ =\ 65]


Solve for *[tex \Large x].  Then calculate *[tex \Large 2x\ -\ 7].

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
