Question:

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 220 cm. If the base is 40 cm, then the length of each of the other sides is:

Options:

85 cm

90 cm

80 cm

95 cm

Correct Answer:

90 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle = 2x + y, where, x = length of equal sides

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle = 220 cm

Base = y = 40 cm

= 220 = 2x + 40

= 2x = 180

= x = 90 cm
