Question

A park is in the shape of an isosceles triangle with a base of 56 feet. The perimeter of the park is 190 feet. How long is each of the equal sides of the park?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

67 feet

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the base length and the two equal sides (s).

190 = 56 +2s

134 = 2s . . . . . . subtract 56

67 = s . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Each of the equal sides is 67 feet long.
