Use pythagoras' therom:
82-52 = 39 and the square root of this is 6.244997998
height = 6.245 ft to 3 d.p.

Is an isosceles triangle always never or sometimes congruent?
"Congruent" means "same shape and size as the other one". So one thing all by itself is never congruent. It needs something else to be congruent with. An isosceles triangle is never congruent to a scalene triangle, sometimes congruent to any other kind of triangle, and always congruent to another isosceles triangle that's congruent to the first one.

Are all triangles with the same area congruent?
No. Two shapes are congruent if they have the same size and shape. The area of a triangle is found with the formula 1/2 x base x height. Example: Triangle A has a base of 2 and a height of 4, so its area is 4 square units. Triangle B has a base of 1 and a height of 8, so its area is also 4 square units, but it is a different shape.
What is a Isosceles trangle?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle (3-sided, 2-dimensional shape), 2 sides of which are equal in length. Any triangle which is not equalateral

An A-frame tent is in the shape of an isosceles triangle An isosceles triangle has two equal sides The base of the triangle is 10 ft and the two congruent sides are each 8 ft What is the height?
Use Pythagoras' theorem: 82-52 = 39 and the square root of this is 6.244997998 or 6.245 feet in height to 3 d.p.
If weRotation of a right angled triangle about its height what shape we will get?
An isosceles, possibly equilateral, triangle
What is the difference between a trapezoid and an isosceles trapezoid?
In a general trapezium, the non-parallel sides are not congruent. However, in an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are congruent. So the shape is like an isosceles triangle with its apex chopped off by a straight line parallel to its base.
What shape has the same shape and same size?
