Question

What is the area of ​​a triangle ABC with AB=AC=5cm and BC=6cm?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

BC ==> Base of triangle

Divide the triangle in two parts:

BC/2=BC'

6/2=BC'

BC'=3

Distance formula: a^2+b^2=c^2

c^2-a^2=b^2

5^2-3^2=b^2

25-9=b^2

b^2=16

b=4 ==> height of triangle

Area of triangle=A. b=base. h=height

A=1/2 * b * h=

A=1/2 * 6 * 4

A=1/2 * 24

A=12 cm^2
