Answer: [tex]7.48\ cm[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The equal side of two isosceles triangle are [tex]9\ cm[/tex] long
Base of the triangle is [tex]10\ cm[/tex] long
Median divides the base into two equal halves
from the figure, it can be written
[tex]\Rightarrow 9^2=5^2+h^2\\\Rightarrow h^2=9^2-5^2\\\Rightarrow h=\sqrt{81-25}\\\Rightarrow h=\sqrt{56}\\\Rightarrow h=7.48\ cm[/tex]
The length of the segment is [tex]7.48\ cm[/tex]
