The correct Answer is:
To find the length of each of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the components of the triangle**: - Let the length of the base (B) be given as \( B = 2x - 2y + 4z \). - The perimeter (P) of the triangle is given as \( P = 4x + 6z \). 2. **Set up the equation for the perimeter**: - In an isosceles triangle, the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the two equal sides (let's denote them as A) and the base. Therefore, we can express the perimeter as: \[ P = A + A + B = 2A + B \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the perimeter equation**: - We can substitute the values of P and B into the equation: \[ 4x + 6z = 2A + (2x - 2y + 4z) \] 4. **Rearrange the equation to isolate 2A**: - Rearranging gives: \[ 2A = (4x + 6z) - (2x - 2y + 4z) \] 5. **Simplify the right-hand side**: - Simplifying the right-hand side: \[ 2A = 4x + 6z - 2x + 2y - 4z \] \[ 2A = (4x - 2x) + (6z - 4z) + 2y \] \[ 2A = 2x + 2y + 2z \] 6. **Divide by 2 to find A**: - Now, divide both sides by 2: \[ A = x + y + z \] ### Final Answer: The length of each of the equal sides is \( A = x + y + z \). ---
