Answer:

  12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the base to the other sides is ...

  4 : 7 : 7

The perimeter is a total of 4 +7 +7 = 18 ratio units, so each ratio units stands for 54/18 = 3 length units.

The base length is then ...

  (4 ratio units)(3 length units/ratio unit) = 12 length units
