How do you find the maximum possible area of an Isosceles triangle with the Height of 20m. The angle of the equal angles can vary but must be no more then 35 degrees.?

An isosceles triangle can be split up into two right angle triangles so use trigonometry to find the base and then double your answer to find the base of the isosceles triangle which works out as 57.12592026 meters.
Base = 20/tan(35) = 28.56296013
Base of isosceles = 28.56296013*2 = 57.12592026
Area = 1/2*base*height
Area = 1/2*57.12592026*20 = 571.2592026 square meters

Does triangle have more than four symmetry?
No because the maximum lines of symmetry a triangle can have is 3 as an equilateral triangle and 1 as an isosceles triangle otherwise a triangle has no lines of symmetry.
How many right angles in a scalene triangle?
Any triangle can have a maximum of one right angle. Most right triangles are scalene triangles. The only non-scalene right triangle is a 45° - 45° - 90° isosceles right triangle. It is not possible to have an equilateral right triangle in plane geometry. A scalene triangle does not have to have a right angle, but it can have one.
What is the greatest number of right angels that a triangle can contain?
A triangle can only have a maximum of 1 right angle. The total degrees of all the angles of a triangle adds up to exactly 180. Since a triangle must have exactly three angles, it is not possible for the triangle to have more than one angle that is 90 degrees.
What is the maximum area in square feet of the isosceles triangle if the perimeter is 9 feet?
The maximum area is just under 3.9 sq feet [exactly (3/2)2*sqrt(3) sq ft] - an area that is attained by an equilateral triangle. Since the question specifies an isosceles triangle, the answer is very very slightly less than that.
Could an isosceles triangle have a perimeter of 12cm and area of 12cm2?
No. The maximum are is attained when it is equilateral and that is less than 7 cm2
What is the maximum vertex angle in an isosceles triangle?
an isosceles triangle can have any vertex angle less than 180 and greater than 0, as long the other two angles are equal. an isosceles triangle with a vertex of 179 degrees would just have the other two angles be 0.5 degrees. A right triangle with matching angles (both 45 degrees) would be both a right triangle and isosceles triangle.
How many right angles does a isosceles triangle have?
It can only have a maximum of one- and that is only if it is a right-angled isosceles triangle. ----------------------------------------------------- Yes not all isosceles triangles are right angle triangles - this is a special case.

What is the maximum possible number of points of intersection between an equilateral triangle and a circle in the same plane?
6 maximum points of intersection
What is the minimum and maximum length of the third side of a triangle with sides 11 and 28?
The minimum length possible is 18. The maximum is 38.
Dimensions of an isosceles triangle of largest area that can be inscribed in a circle of radius r?
The largest possible triangle is an equilateral triangle. Here's a sort of proof - try making some sketches to get the idea. * For any given isosceles triangle ABC that you might inscribe, where AB = BC... * ...Moving vertex A to be perpendicularly above the midpoint of BC will increase the area, since its distance from BC (the height of the triangle) will be at a maximum.* This gives a new isosceles, where AB = AC. * The same thing applies to the new isosceles. You can keep increasing the area in this way until the process makes no difference. If the process can increase the area no further, it can only be because all the vertices are already above the midpoints of the opposite edges. Which means we have an equilateral triangle. Anyhow, to answer the question, an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of radius r will have side length d where d2 = 2r2 - 2r2cos(120) from the cosine rule. and since cos(120) = -1/2 d2 = 2r2 + r2 = 3r2 and so d = r sqrt(3) *Equally, move vertex C above the midpoint of AB.
What is the biggest latitude possible on earth map?
The maximum latitude is 90 degrees north or south.
