The sum of the three sides of a triangle is 50. The right side of the triangle is 2 cm longer than the left side. Find the value of the triangle base if the left side has a value of 12 cm.
If the left side of the triangle is 12, and the right side is 2 cm longer, the right side is 12+2 =

14 cm long.
The sum of the left and right sides of the triangle is 14+12 =

26 cm.
If the sum of all sides of the is 50, and the left and right sides of the triangle are 26, the triangle base is 50-26 =
