How do you find the lengths of the legs of an isoceles triangle when given the angle?

With only the angle provided, you cannot find the lengths of the sides. The reason for this is that the isosceles triangle can be scaled up or down. If you had an isosceles triangle with a vertex of, say, 20 degrees, the other two angles would be 80 degrees each. This triangle could be constructed with the pair of congruent sides 10 centimeters long, 10 feet long, 10 miles long, or any length, and it would still have the same angles in its construction. Angles alone are insufficient to discover the length of the sides of an isosceles triangle.

Can 7 40 41 be the side lengths of a right triangle?
No because the given lengths don't comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
Can you form a right triangle with the three lengths given 71112?
No because the given dimensions do not comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
Can the set of lengths be the side lengths of a right triangle 7ft 12ft 17ft?
No because the given sides do not comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
How do you solve this geometry proof?
Given ABE, ADC, BD bisescts angle ABC and BD is parallel to EC prove: Triangle EBC is isoceles
Triangle side is 45 the other is 45 what is the third angle?
It is not possible to determine the measure of an angle if the lengths of two sides are given.
What is the formula of finding perimeter of isoceles triangle?
Assuming the lengths of the sides are given, then perimetrer = base + 2*leg If the sides are not given, then the answer will depend on what information is provided.
What is the base angle in the isoceles triangle whose side and altitute is given?
sin-1(a/s) where a = altitude and s = side.

How do you find the side length on a triangle with one angle given?
To find side lengths on a triangle, you need to know at least one of the sides. The possible combinations for solving* a triangle are: side, side, side; side, angle, side; angle, side, angle; angle, side, longer side. *To solve a triangle is to find the lengths of all the sides and the measures of all the angles.
How do you find the length of a side of a triangle which is not a right angled triangle given two lengths and an angle?
Depending on which sides and angle are known you would use one of the trigonometry functions.
Is triangle with sides of lengths 16 and 63 and 65 a right triangle?
Yes because the given dimensions complies with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
What polygon has three sides of different lengths?
If it has no right angle then a scalene triangle would fit the given description
A triangle has sides of lengths 16 63 and 65. Is it a right triangle?
Yes because the given dimensions complies with the requirements of Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
