The length of the tent's base is
Explanation:
The tent is shaped like an isosceles triangle and measures 7 feet.
Since, isosceles triangle has two equal sides, the two sides of a triangle are 7 feet.
It is also given that the diagonal measures 9 ft.
Now, we shall determine the length of the tent's base.
Let x denote the length of the tent's base.
The image of the isosceles triangle having these measurements is attached below:
Using Pythagorean Theorem, we have,
Taking square root on both sides,
Thus, the length of the tent's base is
