Problema Solution

In isosceles triangle ABC with base BC,=18cm.If each leg is 6cm shorter than the base.Find the perimeter of triangle ABC?

Answer provided by our tutors

BC = 18 cm

Since it is isosceles other sides will be equal and as given will be 6 cm shorter than the base

So, AC= AB = BC - 6 = 12 cm

Perimeter = Sum of all the sides

=AB +BC + AC = 12 + 12 + 18

=42 cm 

Perimeter is 42 cm
