This dosent make sense and where are the sentences ;-;
It is always isosceles because it can be proved as follows:
The perpendicular bisector dissects the triangle into two, and it is the common side. Then each side of the bisector is 90 degrees, and the bisected to two equal sides, so the two dissected triangles are congruent, hence the original triangle is isosceles.
Given:
Compound shape
To find:
The area of the compound shape.
Solution:
The compound shape is splitted into two parallelograms.
<u>Bottom parallelogram:</u>
Base = 7.5 cm
Height = 5 cm
Area of the parallelogram = base × height
= 7.5 × 5
= 37.5 cm²
The area of the Bottom parallelogram 37.5 cm².
<u>Top parallelogram:</u>
Base = 7.5 cm
Height = 4.5 cm
Area of the parallelogram = base × height
= 7.5 × 4.5
= 33.75 cm²
The area of the top parallelogram 33.75 cm².
Compound shape = 37.5 + 33.75
= 71.25 cm²
The area of the compound shape is 71.25 cm².
