Find the area of the isosceles triangle.
13 cm is the side length
10 cm is the base length
what is the hight?
and area?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that,

Area of isosceles triangle= 1/2 *b*h

we have a=10  and  other side = hypotenuse=b=13 cm

Now e have formula to find h,

h=[tex]\sqrt{b^{2} -a^{2}/4}[/tex]

now putt the values ,

we get,

h=[tex]\sqrt{169-100/4}[/tex]

h=[tex]\sqrt{576/4}[/tex]

h=12 cm  height of isosceles triangle ,

Area = 1/2 * b*h

Area=1/2*13*12

Area=S=60[tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
