How do I find the area of the isosceles triangle?

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find 'h'.

\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

For right triangles, where 'a' and 'b' are the two legs and 'c' is the hypotenuse.

Divide the base by 2 to find the base length of one of the right triangles. 32/2 = 16. Now apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

\sf 16^2+b^2=20^2

Simplify:

\sf 256+b^2=400

Subtract 256 to both sides:

\sf b^2=144

Take the square root of both sides:

\sf b = 12

So the height is 12cm. Apply the formula for the area of a triangle:

\sf A=\frac{1}{2}bh

\sf A=\frac{1}{2}(32)(12)

\sf A=192cm^2

Reduce 720/1080 little cunfused
Veronika [31]
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible. 

In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.

Which property was used to simplify the expression?<br><br> (3z)^2 = 3^2z^2 = 9z^2
svet-max [94.6K]
One of the product rules for exponents was used.
(ab)^{c}=a^{c}b^{c}

Or, you can consider that the definition of an exponent and the associative and commutative properties of multiplication were used.
(3z)^{2}\\=(3z)(3z)\\=3\cdot 3\cdot z\cdot z\\=3^{2}z^{2}\\=9z^{2}
