Question

Please help with this question:

An isosceles triangle has its base on the side of a square. The areas of the triangle and the square are equal. What is the length of one of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle in terms of the length of one side of the square? Give an exact answer.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

ou can use this formula for the area of a triangle for two sides and the opposite angle of opposite side,

Area=12absinC

Where a

and b

would be the lengths of the equal sides and C

is the angle between a

and b

. But since a

and b

are equal in length let a=c

and b=c

so your formula becomes..

Area=12c2sinC
