Answer:
The length of each leg = 5 units
The length of the base = 4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Isosceles Triangle is a triangle with any two sides of it in equal measure.
Perimeter of a triangle = SUM OF ALL SIDES
Now, Perimeter of the triangle = 14
Let length of each leg = a
So, the length of the other leg is also a.
And, the base of the triangle is a -1
Now, as perimeter is 14.
⇒a + a + (a -1) = 14
or, 3 a = 14 + 1
⇒ 3 a = 15, or a = 15/3 = 5
Hence, the length of each leg = 5
And the length of the base = (a -1) = (5-1) = 4 units
