Answer:
c ≈ 9.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is
c² = 4.1² + 8.1² = 16.81 + 65.61 = 82.42 ( take square root of both sides )
c = ≈ 9.1 m ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so first we need to find the height so by splitting the isosceles triangle into two right-angled triangles and then applying Pythagoras' Theorem to one of them.
We now know the height of the triangle and can use this to go back and find the area of the isosceles triangle.
area of triangle = x base x height
area of triangle = x 10 x 12
area of triangle = 60
