Algebra.Com's Answer #21196 by Prithwis(166)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A triangle that has two 45 degree angles will have third angle as 90 degrees (180-45-45). \n" ); document.write( "Two sides are the same - Isosceles traingle \n" ); document.write( "Just the angles of a triangle do not specify a specific traingle; thus the area will vary based on length of the sides. \n" ); document.write( "Think about two separate bases; one 5 ft long and the other 10 ft long; \n" ); document.write( "You can draw two 45 degree angles on both of them; The length of the sides will be bigger for 10 ft base than it would be for 5 ft base. For this reason, a longer base will produce a larger area than the one with a smaller base. \n" ); document.write( " |
