You want to make 3 pairs of earrings that are in the shape of isosceles triangles. Each earring will have a base of 2 cm. The wire to make the earrings is 50 cm long. If you want to maximize the use of the wire, which of the following would represent the length of each of the other two sides?

Respuesta :

Answer:  3.165 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pairs=6 earrings

P=(a+2b)6

a=2cm

50/6=2+2b

8.33-2=2b

6.33=2b

b=3.165 cm
