To find: the altitude of the isosceles
Answer to Problem 5P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The base of the isosceles triangle is18cm and equal sides are 24 cm.
Calculation:
According to the question, length of the right triangle is consecutive even integers in feet.
Let the first side be x.
Therefore, second and third side will be
Here, ABE is an isosceles triangle where AE is base. Draw altitude AD, then AD bisect BE in to two equal parts. And ABD is a right-angle triangle. Therefore,
By using Pythagoras theorem,
Hence, the altitude of the isosceles triangle is
