Answer:
120 units²
Explanation:
Perimeter = PS + SQ + PQ
50 = SQ + SQ + (SQ -1)
51 = 3SQ
17 = SQ
17 -1 = 16 = PQ
The midpoint of the base is one leg of the right triangle whose other leg is the height of this isosceles triangle. That height is ...
h = √(17² -(16/2)²) = √225 = 15
Then the area is ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16)(15) = 120 . . . . . square units
