Question 145756
This is cool, you can solve it by Pythagorean theorem.
From the "tip" where 2 lines meet draw a line straight to your base (which cuts that into half) and that is your height, right? --mark this "a".
And the base that cuts into half mark "b", & the new dimension="b/2"
Then that diagonal line that connects the tip of the line you draw (as height)
to the end tip of the base, mark it as "c"= hypotenuse.
by Pyth. theorem,
{{{c^2 = a^2 + (b/2)^2}}}
{{{a^2 = c^2 - (b/2)^2}}}
{{{a= sqrt(c^2 - (b/2)^2)}}}--------- This will be your height remember? And you can solve now since you know the dimensions of all the sides.
Thank you,
