So it won't be a shock I don’t know what I’m doing in general, I thought I would put this one out there with the other:
An Isosceles triangle also has two sides with the same length. The third and shortest side of a certain isosceles triangle is one-half the length of each of the equal sides. The perimeter of the triangle is eighty inches. What is the length of each side?
The things I know:
Perimeter is the total of all the sides and that is 80 inches.
Two sides of the triangle are equal and the third one-half that length
the two equal sides are acute so they measure between 0 and 90 degrees
Is there something else I should know? I just don't know.
