Question

the short side of an isosceles triangle is 16cm long increasing each side length by 24cm doubles the perimeter. how long are the other sides of the original triangle?

Answer 1

16 + 2s = old perimeter
16+24 + 2(s+24) = 2(16+2s)
40 + 2s + 48 = 32 + 4s
2s = 56
s = 28

so, the old perimeter was 16+2*28 = 72
the new perimeter is 40 + 2*52 = 148

Answer 2

Ok so......
If you're in grade 6 this should be easy

Since the bottom side is 16 that means you have to find out the other sides( they're iscoceles so they're the same) you do

24+24+24= 72 -16 = 56. Then you want to know the other sides so you do 56 divided by 2 (the amount of sides you need to figure out)and you'll get 28 which is the number of sides. So 28 + 28 + 16 = 72 so that's the old perimeter. the new one idk
