Answer:
10 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Shape: Isosceles Triangle
[tex]Perimeter=24\ in[/tex]
[tex]Side = 4\ in[/tex]
Required
Find the length of the other two sides
Represent the other sides with x.
Since it is an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal.
So, we have:
[tex]x + x + 4 = 24[/tex]
[tex]2x + 4 = 24[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]2x = 24-4[/tex]
[tex]2x = 20[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{20}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{20}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x = 10[/tex]
The other sides are 10in each
