The possible lengths of the legs if the perimeter is between 6 units and 16 units.
Answer to Problem 4OE
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given statement is:
The base is half as long as each leg, each leg is twice as long as the base.
Calculation:
The solution for the given statement can be obtained by:
Let the base=x
The base is half as long as each leg, each leg is twice as long as the base=2x
The perimeter P is given by
Perimeter= base + leg + leg
If Perimeter is between 6 units and 16 units
Therefore, the possible length of the base is either 2 or 3.That makes the possible of the legs,
which are twice as long as the base, be either 4 or 6.
