Sorry I'm late! xx
Okay, so two of the sides in an isosceles triangle are of the same length. The lengths are either in the ratio 5:5:6 or 5:6:6
The perimeter is 32 cm

If we take the first ratio, 5:5:6, then we have 16 "parts". Let the length of each "part" be referred to as "x"
So, 16x = 32, and so x = 2

So, the ratio of the sides are 10 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm.

To find the height, "h", we need to use Pythagoras' Theorem, with 10 being the hypotenuse and 6 being the horizontal side (think of a line cutting straight down the middle of the isosceles triangle)
h^2 + 36 = 100
h = 8 cm

Area of a triangle is 0.5 x base x height. So, 0.5 x 12 x 8 = 48 cm^2

Hope I helped!! xx

In the diagram m angle ACB = 61<br> Find m angle BCD
Marina86 [1]

we are given that

angle(ACF)=90

angle(ACB)=61

sum of all angles along any line is 180

so, we get

angle(ACF)+angle(ACD)=180

we can plug value

90+angle(ACD)=180

angle(ACD)=90

now, we can use formula

angle(ACD)=angle(ACB)+angle(BCD)

now, we can plug values

and we get

90=61+angle(BCD)

90-61=61-61+angle(BCD)

angle(BCD)=29................Answer

What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral shown below?
GarryVolchara [31]

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

So, to find the perimeter of this quadrilateral, all we have to do is add the side lengths and simplify.

(x² - 6) + (2x + 5) + (x² - 3x) + (4x² + 2x)

x² + x² + 4x² + (-3x) + 2x + 2x + (-6) + 5

6x² + (-3x) + 2x + 2x + (-6) + 5

6x² + x + (-6) + 5

6x² + x + (-1)

6x² + x - 1

So, the perimeter of the quadrilateral is the quantity (6x² + x - 1).

Hope this helps!
