In a given isosceles triangle each of the two equal sides is

In a given isosceles triangle, each of the two equal sides is two times as long as the base if the pen meter of the t angle 36.5 cm. determines the lengths of the three sides

Solution

Let the two equal sides measure, x each and third side measure y

So, x=2y

Perimeter =2x+y=2*2y+y=5y=36.5

y=7.3 cm

So, base,y=7.3 cm

Each equal side, x=14.6 cm
