Algebra.Com's Answer #351939 by mananth(16946)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The altitude of the triangle bisects the base of an isoscles triangle. \n" ); document.write( "When you draw a line from the opposite vetex to the base 2 congruent triangles are formed by the height. \n" ); document.write( "Total base = 16 \n" ); document.write( "half the base = 8 \n" ); document.write( "the angle = 10.5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the height of the triangle by tan value\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tan \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tan (10.5) = height / 8\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 * tan 10.5= height \n" ); document.write( "height = 1.48\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = 1/2 * 16 * 1.48\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Area = 11.84 sq. units \n" ); document.write( " |
