Answer:

The triangle's perimeter is 61.77 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an altitude is drawn from the vertex of an isosceles triangle, forming a right angle and two congruent triangles, and as a result, the altitude cuts the base into two equal segments, and the length of the altitude is 26 inches, and the length of the base is 9 inches, to find the triangle's perimeter the following calculation must be performed:

Isosceles triangle = 2 equal sides

To obtain the value of the sides, the Pythagorean theorem must be applied on the right triangle formed with the altitude.

(9/2) ^ 2 + 26 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

4.5 ^ 2 + 26 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

20.25 + 676 = X ^ 2

√ (20.25 + 676) = X

√696.25 = X

26.38 = X

26.3865 x 2 + 9 = X

52.77 + 9 = X

61.77 = X

Therefore, the triangle's perimeter is 61.77 inches.

Answer: AB=√17, AD=√98,6

Step-by-step explanation:

AB²=BC²+AC²-2*BC*AC*cosACB

AB²=5²+4²-2*5*4*0,6=25+16-24=17

AB=√17

AD²=AC²+CD²-2*AC*CD*cosACD

cosACD=cos(180°-ACB)=-cosACB

AD²=4²+7²-2*4*7*(-0,6)=16+49+33,6=98,6

AD=√98,6
