Question

In the isosceles triangle below the congruent side each measure 13 meter if the bases of the triangle is 10 what is the height of the triangle

Answer 1

height=12

Explanation:

To find the height of the triangle first you would have to change it into a right triangle.

The right triangle would have a base of 5 and the hypotenuse would be 13

The n you would use Pythagorean theorem to find the height

`{a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)`

`{5}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {13}^(2)`

`{b}^(2) = 144`

b=12
