The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 44 cm, and the base is 16 cm, find the other sides of the triangle.

In order to answer the question of the problem, we will compose and solve a linear equation with one variable.

We know that the perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 44 cm.And we also know that the base of a triangle is 16 cm.

Let’s remember the properties of the sides of an isosceles triangle. The sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Let us denote the side by the variable x cm.

Perimeter of an isosceles triangle.

P = 2a + b;

2x + 16 = 44;

2x = 44 – 16;

2x = 28;

x = 28: 2;

x = 14 cm the length of the side of the triangle.
