The description does not work. Either the triangle is isosceles, or equilateral, or scalene, or obtuse. The description cannot agree with the legs being 9 unit each and base length also be 9 units for isosceles triangle.
If right angled isosceles triangle, then the two legs of 9 unit each must make the base side . This forces the edge length of the square part to also be but they were given as 9 unit.
Recheck your problem description.
