An isosceles triangle is a type of triangle where 2 sides are equal.

Picture out 2 triangles with the same base length.
On the first triangle, its legs are twice the length of the legs of the second triangle.

To put it into variables, let:
B = the same base length of the two triangles
A = the length of one leg the smaller triangle
2A = the length of one leg of the bigger triangle

Given: Perimeter of smaller triangle = 23cm
Perimeter of bigger triangle = 43cm

Recall the formula for solving the perimeter of a triangle:
Perimeter = A + B + C

where, A, B, and C are the legs of the triangle

Since the triangle involved is an isosceles triangle, therefore, we can say that
Perimeter = 2A + B , 2 legs are equal ( A=C )

Substituting the given perimeter value to the formula.

23cm = 2A + B ⇒ equation 1 (smaller triangle)
43cm = 2(2A) + B ⇒ equation 2 (bigger triangle)

Simplifying equation 2.
43cm = 4A + B
(rearranging) B = 43cm - 4A ⇒ equation 3

Substituting equation 3 to equation 1:
(equation 1) 23cm = 2A + B
23cm = 2A + (43cm - 4A)
23cm = -2A + 43cm
2A = 43cm - 23cm
2A = 20cm ⇒ length of the leg of the bigger triangle
A = 10cm ⇒ length of the leg of the smaller triangle

To solve for the base length, just substitute the value of A to equation 3
(equation 3) B = 43cm - 4A
B = 43cm - 4(10cm)
B = 3 cm

Final

• For the smaller triangle, the length of the sides are 10cm, 10cm, and 3cm
• For the bigger triangle, the length of the sides are 20cm, 20cm, and 3cm

Cone w has a radius of 8 cm and a height of 5 cm. square pyramid x has the same base area and height as cone w. paul and manuel disagree on how the volumes of cone w and square pyramid x are related. examine their arguments. which statement explains whose argument is correct and why? paul manuel the volume of square pyramid x is equal to the volume of cone w. this can be proven by finding the base area and volume of cone w, along with the volume of square pyramid x. the base area of cone w is π(r2) = π(82) = 200.96 cm2. the volume of cone w is one third(area of base)(h) = one third third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is one third(area of base)(h) = one third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is three times the volume of cone w. this can be proven by finding the base area and volume of cone w, along with the volume of square pyramid x. the base area of cone w is π(r2) = π(82) = 200.96 cm2. the volume of cone w is one third(area of base)(h) = one third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is (area of base)(h) = (200.96)(5) = 1,004.8 cm3. paul's argument is correct; manuel used the incorrect formula to find the volume of square pyramid x. paul's argument is correct; manuel used the incorrect base area to find the volume of square pyramid x. manuel's argument is correct; paul used the incorrect formula to find the volume of square pyramid x. manuel's argument is correct; paul used the incorrect base area to find the volume of square pyramid x.
