The base and perimeter of an isosceles triangle are 3(1/2)(mixed frac)

1.	The base and perimeter of an isosceles triangle are 3(1/2)(mixed frac) cm and 12 cm. Find the length of each of its equal sides.please tell fast
Answer» Answer: 4.25 units Step-by-step explanation: LET the length of the equal SIDES be 'x' We KNOW that Sum of all sides is the Perimeter So Perimeter = 3½ + 2x 2x = 12 - 3½ 2x = 8.5 x = 8.5 ÷ 2 x = 4.25 units Hope this helps....

Answer:

4.25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

LET the length of the equal SIDES be 'x'

We KNOW that Sum of all sides is the Perimeter

Perimeter = 3½ + 2x

2x = 12 - 3½

2x = 8.5

x = 8.5 ÷ 2

x = 4.25 units

Hope this helps....
