Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the legs of an isosceles triangle are equal.
Therefore 3x-1 = -x+27
We can add x to both sides to get 4x-1=27
Add 1 to both sides to get 4x=28
Divide each side by 4 to get x=7
We can plug x into the base equation 5x+1
5(7)+1 = 35+1 = 36
The base length is 36
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As it is an isosceles triangle, 3x - 1 = -x + 27
3x - 1 = -x + 27
3x + x = 27 +1
4x = 28
x = 28/4
x = 7 units
Length of the base = 5x + 1 = 5*7 + 1 = 35 +1 = 36 units
