Question

calculate the length of the legs of an isosceles triangle.The base is less than the other congruent legs by two units.The perimeter of the triangle is 22 meter .

Answer 1

Answer:

Sides = 8 each and base = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let congruent legs = x, then the base is x - 2 so,

P = x + x + (x - 2)

22 = 3x - 2

24 = 3x

8 = x (sides)

base = 8 - 2 = 6
