Question

An isosceles triangle in which the two equal sides, labeled a, are longer than the base, labeled b. This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, that are longer than the length of the base, b. The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 centimeters. The equation 2a + b = 15.7 models this information. If one of the longer sides is 6.3 centimeters, which equation can be used to find the length of the base? 6.3+b=15.7 12.6+b=15.7 2a+6.3=15.7 2a+12.6=15.7

Answer 1

answer B 12.6 +b =15.7

Explanation:

hope this helps got it correct

Answer 2

Hey There!!

The answer to this is: isosollese triangle has 2 equal sides that are longer than legnth of base

perimiter=15.7

equation is 2a+b=15.7

so if the longer side is 6.3, wat is legnth of base

we know that identical sides are bigger so 6.3 is one of the identical sides

2a means the 2 idneical sides

2(6.3)+b=15.7

12.6+b=15.7

subtract 12.6 from btohs ides

b=3.1

Thus, answer is base=3.1 cm

Hope It Helps!~
