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 can be used to find the side lengths.

If one of the longer sides is 6.3 centimeters, what is the length of the base?

jhonyy9 · Answer

you know that an isosceles triangle has two sides equal length so ,,a" and ,,a" 
these are longer than the length of the base ,,b"
the perimeter of this triangle is 15,7 cm

hope you know that the perimeter of a triangle you get assuming the lengths of the sides 
given that the length of a longer side so ,,a" equal 6,3 cm

hope these above wrote help you understanding and solve correct easy this math problem
