The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 3x-6. The perimeter of the triangle is 51. Find x

  x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the base and the two equal legs:

  51 = x + 2(3x -6)

  51 = 7x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  63 = 7x . . . . . . . . add 12

  9 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
