Question:

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 50 cm. If the base is 18 cm, then find the length of the equal sides.

Options:

18 cm

25 cm

16 cm

32 cm

Correct Answer:

16 cm

Explanation:

Let two equal sides of a triangle = a

Third side = 18

Perimeter of the triangle = 50

a + a + 18 = 50

= 2a = 50 - 18

= 2a = 32

= a = 16
