This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, that are longer than the length of the base, b. The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 centimeters. The equation 2a + b 15.7 models this information If one of the longer sides is 6.3 centimeters, which is used to find the length of the base?

Assuming you're asking what b is:

Substitute and Subtract

[tex]2a + b = 15.7 \\ 2(6.3) + b = 15.7 \\ 12.6 + b = 15.7 \\ b = 3.1[/tex]
