To find: The perimeter of a lot having shape of an isosceles
The perimeter of the lot is
Given data: The vacant lot is of the form of an isosceles triangle between two streets intersecting at angle
Method/Formula used:
An isosceles triangle ABC is shown in Fig. 1. If
Calculations:
Two streets AB and AC each of 150 ft long are two equal sides of lot that is in the form of isosceles triangle ABC shown in Fig.2. The sides AB and AC intersects at angle
From Fig. 2, in triangle ABC, from result (1),
Substitute
Substitute 0.0715 for
Thus, the side BC of the lot is
