Question 549578
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


There are an infinite number of isosceles triangles with differing side measures that have an area of any given value.  So for an area of 10


Example 1:  Base measure is 10, Altitude is 2, so congruent sides measure *[tex \Large \sqrt{29}]


Example 2:  Base measure is 5, Altitude is 4, so congruent sides measure *[tex \Large \frac{\sqrt{89}}{2}]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
