Finding Missing Values
ALGEBRA Find the measures of the sides of isosceles triangle KLM with base KL.
__
ALGEBRA Find x and the measure of each side of equilateral triangle ABC if AB = 6x – 8, BC = 7 + x, and AC = 13 – x.
A. x = 10; all sides are 3.
B. x = 6; all sides are 13.
C. x = 3; all sides are 10.
D. x = 3; all sides are 16.
