The base of the triangle is 4 inches more than the length of the sides and the total the total perimeter is 64 inches. Write an equation to find the length of each side of the triangle

Respuesta :

Answer:

Both the sides are equal to 20 inches and the base is equal to 24 inches.

b=s3= s1+4----equation 1

s1=s2----equation 2

Perimeter of the triangle = s1+s2+s3--------equation 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be denoted by s1 and s2 . Then the base is denoted by b=s3= s1+4----equation 1

According to the statement s1=s2----equation 2

Perimeter of the triangle = s1+s2+s3--------equation 3

   64= s1+s2+ s1+4

 64 = 3s1+4

60= 3s1

20 = s1

Both the sides are equal to 20 inches and the base is equal to 24 inches.
