Question:

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 90 cm. If the case is 26 cm, then find the length of the equal sides.

Options:

30 cm

40 cm

42 cm

32 cm

Correct Answer:

32 cm

Explanation:

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle = 90 cm.

Base = 26 cm

We know that,

P = (2a + b)

Where, p = perimeter

a = side and b = another side

Let the length of the equal sides be m

P = (2a + b)

= 90 = 2m + 26

= (90 – 26) = 2m

= 64 = 2m

= m = 32
