Base of the isosceles triangle = 4
Perpendicular of the triangle = 3
In an isosceles triangle , a perpendicular bisects a base equally. So, here the isosceles triangle consist of 2 right angled triangles.
In that right angled triangles,
Base = 4/2 = 2 (∵ A perpendicular divides a base into 2 equal parts. )
Perpendicular = 3
Hypotenuse = x
So , according to Pythagorean Theorem ,
Using all the values above into the formula gives :-
