Problem

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 15 units. Find out the length of the third side of the triangle if the equal sides measure 4 units each.

2

Step

Given that perimeter of the isosceles triangle (P) & length of equal sides are

15 units and 4 units

3

Formula

The perimeter of the Isosceles triangle formula is \$Perimeter = 2 \times (length of equal side) + length of the third side\$.

4

Step

Plug the values into the formula:

P = \$15 = (2 \times 4) + c\$

5

Step

Now,solve for c:

15 = 8 + c

c = 15 - 8

c = 7 units

6

Solution

The length of the third side of the isosceles triangle is 7 units.
