In an isosceles triangle klm with base km, the lateral side is 9 cm, the perimeter is 27 cm.

In an isosceles triangle klm with base km, the lateral side is 9 cm, the perimeter is 27 cm. The segment hp is the bisector of this triangle. Find kp.

Since the KLM triangle is isosceles, then ML = ML = 9 cm.

Since the perimeter of the KLM triangle, by condition, is 27 cm, then KM = (Pklm – KL – ML) = (27 – 9 – 9) = 9 cm.

The bisector of an isosceles triangle, drawn to its base, is also its height and median, then KР = KM / 2 = 9/2 = 4.5 cm.

Answer:  The length of the KP segment is 4.5 cm.
