good drawing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With an isosceles triangle, two sides have the same length

OpenStudy (agl202):

31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get 31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 9 + 9 + 13 gives you the distance around the triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or the perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that's 31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, in meters :)

OpenStudy (agl202):

Yep that's how I got it!
