Answer:
The sides of the isosceles triangle are 3.2 cm, 6.2 cm and 6.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of an isosceles triangle are equal in length
Let the base be x cm
Since it is 3 cm smaller than a leg, the legs will be (x + 3) cm
To find the perimeter of a triangle, we add up the sides
x + x + 3 + x + 3 = 15.6
3x + 6 = 15.6
3x = 15.6 - 6
3x = 9.6
x = 9.6/3
x = 3.2 cm
So the base is 3 + 3.2 =6.2 cm
