What is the length of line AB ? A. 8 B. 6 C. 2 D. 4

sine the base angles of the triangle are equal, it means you have an isosceles triangle......an in an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal
since your base is below, then it means the other two sides are equal
well the triangle is isosceles... so the base angles are equal and the sides opposite the base angles are equal. So you can say 3x = 4x - 2 jut solve for x.. when you know the value of x, you can find AB
with that said, you can say that 3x=4x -2 4x-3x =2 x=2
that isnt the right answer i check it and it wasnt right.
so after finding the value for x, you can now substitute in the length of AB.....which is 3x .......so you then have 3 x 2=6
its 3x..so 3*2 = 6
