The height to the base of an isosceles triangle is 12.4m, and its base is 40.6m. What are the measurement of the angles of the t
riangle and the length of its legs?

Answer:
- angles: 31.42°, 31.42°, 117.16°
- legs: 23.79 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The base angles can be found from the definition of the tangent function:
tan(base angle) = height/(half-base length)
base angle = arctan(12.4/20.3) ≈ 31.418°
Then the apex angle is double the complement of this:
apex angle = 2(90° -31.418°) ≈ 117.164°
The base angles are 31.42°, and the apex angle is 117.16°.

The leg lengths can be computed from the Pythagorean theorem applied to the altitude and the half-base length.
leg length = √(12.4² +20.3²) = √565.85 ≈ 23.789 . . . . meters
The length of the legs is about 23.79 m.

Answer:
P(A) = {{a},{b},{c},{a,b},{a,c},{b,c},{a,b,c},∅}
Step-by-step explanation:
➨ Power Set is the set of all subsets.
First, find the subset of A.
{a},{b},{c},{a,b},{a,c},{b,c},{a,b,c},∅
If you aren't sure that you already have written all subsets or not, use the following formula.
➩ where n is the number of element/members.
Our number of members are 3, use the following formula.
Thus, our subsets should be 8.
As we've already gathered all subsets, write the braces all whole subsets.
P(A) = {{a},{b},{c},{a,b},{a,c},{b,c},{a,b,c},∅}
