Question

An isosceles triangle has been constructed so that its height is half its base. Find the dimensions of the

triangle if the area is 64 m².

Answer 1

Answer: 4 8×8= 64 half the base which is 8 =4

Explanation:

Answer 2

height = 8 m

base = 16 m

Explanation:

Let base = 2x m

So, height = half its base =
`(2x)/(2) = x \ m`

Area = 64 m²

`(1)/(2)* \ base* \ height = 64\\\\\\(1)/(2)* 2x * x = 64`

x * x = 64

x * x = 8 * 8

x = 8 m

Base = 2x = 2*8 = 16 m
