The isosceles triangle had a side of 4.6 inches and a base of 3.9 inches. What was the distance around it?

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides. To find the perimeter of the triangle, you simply need to add together the lengths of the base and the two sides. So: 3.9 + 4.6 +4.6 = 13.1 inches.


If two sides of a triangle are 3 inches long and the other side is 5 inches long what kind of triangle is it?

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.


If Each leg of an isosceles triangle is 9 inches longer than one half the length of the base. If the perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 146 inches what is the length of one leg of the isosceles t?

Let the base length be x:- If: 2(0.5x+9)+x = 146 => x+18+x = 146 => 2x = 146-18 => x = 64 Therefore the isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides of 41 inches and a base of 64 inches Check: 41+41+64 = 146 inches


What is the area of a right triangle with a hypotenuse measuring 5 inches and a base measuring 4 inches?

A "3-4-5" right angled triangle has an area of 6 sq inches. (3x4)/2


Can a triangle with a 4 inch side have a 55 and 35 degree angle?

A triangle with 1 side only measuring 4 inches can have two of its angles measuring 55° and 35°. The side would be either the hypotenuse or one other other sides of a right angled triangle. NOTE : A triangle with two of the three sides measuring 4 inches cannot have one of its angles measuring 55° and one other measuring 35° as the two sides of equal length would define it as an isosceles triangle. Therefore two of its angles are equal. If the two equal angles measured 35° each, then the third angle would equal 110°. If the two equal angles measured 55° each then the third angle would equal 70°. A triangle with all three sides measuring 4 inches has all three angles measuring 60° . It is an equilateral triangle.
