A triangular flag has 2 sides with lengths 2 x and 1 side with length x.

A flag is the shape of an isosceles triangle, with two equal sides and a base. Sara has enough fabric to make a flag with a perimeter of 46.8 cm. She knows the flag needs a base that is half the distance of one of the sides.

What is the base of the largest triangular flag Sara can make?

cm.

Explanation:

Perimeter = x + 2x + 2x = 5x

Since 5x <= 46.8cm, x <= 9.36cm.

The largest base is 9.36cm.
