Question

The base of an isosceles triangle is 4 units longer than the

sides. The perimeter of the triangle is 23.6 units. Which
system of equations can be used to find the length b of the
base and the length s of the sides?

Answer 1

1gm = 1000mg so 0.1gm = 1000mg

first, convert the weight to kg

160lb * 1kg/2.2lb = 72.7kg

next, the dose

72.7kg * 100mg/kg = 7270mg

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

2s + b = 23.6

s + 4 = b

s = b - 4

2b - 8 + b = 23.6

3b = 31.6

b = 31.6 / 3 = 10.53333333(etc.) which is approx. 10.53

s = 6.53
