Answer: 80 meters</h3>
This is an isosceles triangle. The dashed line is the height which is perpendicular to the base 120. The height is always perpendicular to the base. The dashed line cuts the base into two equal pieces (this only works for isosceles triangles when you cut at the vertex like this).
So we have two smaller triangles each with a base of 60 and a height of x. Focus on one of the right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (60)^2 = (100)^2
x^2 + 3600 = 10000
x^2 = 10000 - 3600
x^2 = 6400
x = sqrt(6400)
x = 80
Each smaller right triangle has side lengths of 60, 80, 100
Note the ratio 60:80:100 reduces to 3:4:5. A 3-4-5 right triangle is a very common pythagorean primitive.
Hey there! :D
None of the sides are equal. We can tell this by just looking at it. If the side BC was a straight side, it would be a right triangle, but it is not. It doesn't have any right angles.
It is a scalene triangle. It has no equal sides and no equal angles.
I hope this helps!

Just do 12 times 2 d=24 because 24 divided by 12 =2
