The answer to this question is 12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we're looking at perpendicular lines, the slope of the new line is the reciprocal of the original line.
So the slope of our new line is 
So far, we are looking at 
Now we need to find the b value by plugging in the given point.

So the final equation is 
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
M^2 - 2mn + n^2
(-2)^2 -2(-2)(4) + 4^2
4 + 16 + 16
36
