Question

10 points ABC is an isosceles triangle. A is the vertex angle, AB = 4x - 14 and AC = x + 10. Find the length of one of the legs.

Answer 1

The length of one of the legs is a 18

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of one of the legs

Since it’s an isosceles triangle, the length of two sides are equal.

what this mean is that;

x + 10 = 4x - 14

4x -x = 14 + 10

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

The length of the leg will be x + 10 = 8 + 10 = 18
