If perimeter of an isoceles triangle is 37 inches, and the lengths of both sides are 6 inches less than 3 times the length of the base, what is the length of all three sides?
Answered by DanH
You need to translate the information they give you to algebraic equations. Remember, an isosceles triangle has 2 sides equal to eachother and one not. So, if you call x the length of the sides that are equal, and y the length of the base, then you can make the first equation: 2x + y = 37.
CAn you figure out what the second equation is??
