The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 28 cm and the lateral side is 10 cm. Find the base of the triangle.

To find the base of an isosceles triangle.

We need, since the triangle is isosceles, its two sides are equal.

So we need, (10) one side, multiply by (2):

10 * 2 = 20.

And now from (28) the perimeter of the isosceles triangle, subtract (20) the sum of the two sides.

28 – 20 = 8.

Answer: The base of an isosceles triangle is 8 centimeters.
