A picture can help.
The median to the long side divides the isosceles triangle into two right triangles with hypotenuse 10 and short leg 6. Thus the long leg (median of interest) is found by the Pythagorean theorem to be
... √(10² -6²) = √64 = 8
Then the midpoint of the short side is found to be 6 + (6/2) = 9 units to the side and 8/2 = 4 units above the opposite vertex. Hence the square of the length of that median is 9² + 4² = 97.
The sum of squares of interest is
... 8² + 2×97 = 258
Answer:
<h2><u>50 ft³</u></h2>Step-by-step explanation:
We know the formula for a rectangular prism is length × width × height
We also know all the sides so we can rewrite the formula replacing variables.
The length is 8, the width is 2 and the height is 2
8 × 2 × 2
Multiply which ever way is easy for you. I am just multiplying from left to right.
8 × 2 = 20
20 × 2 = 50
Now we get 50. Before we put our answer as 50, there are two more steps.
First we need to add the measurement unit which is feet or ft
We also need to add ³ since it is volume
<u>50 ft³ is our final answer</u>
