Using the Pythagoras theorem since it is given that it is a right angled triangle
let us name the triangle as A, B, C with B as right angle
AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2 ( Pythagoras theorem)
where AB = 4 , BC = 7 , AC = x
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sides.
In an isosceles the legs are equal (2x - 6) and the base is x
Perimeter = (x) + (2x - 6) + (2x - 6)
38 = 5x - 12
38 + 12 = 5x
50 = 5x

10 = x
A) Width = 9/2, length = 10
Rectangle area = length(l)x width(w)
9/2 = 4.5
4.5(l) x 10(w) = 45ft
