Question

In the isosceles triangle below the congruent side each measure 13 meter if the bases of the triangle is 10 what is the height of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

height=12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the triangle first you would have to change it into a right triangle.

The right triangle would have a base of 5 and the hypotenuse would be 13

The n you would use Pythagorean theorem to find the height

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

${5}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {13}^{2}$

${b}^{2} = 144$

b=12
