The isosceles triangle has two sides with the same length. The base is one-half the length of a side. The expression which represents the perimeter, the distance around the triangle, is s + s + one-half s. What is the value of this expression if s = 8?

A triangle with 2 sides with length s.

Respuesta :

Answer:

20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 8

Perimeter = s + s + [tex]\frac{1}{2}*s[/tex]

                [tex]= 8 + 8 + \frac{1}{2}*8[/tex]

                = 8 + 8 + 4

               = 20 units

20
S=8
1/2s=4
8+8+4=20
Answer is 20
