An isosceles triangle is in effect two right angled triangles joined together and in this case they have bases of 5 units and heights of 2 units so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the hypotenuse which will be the length of one of the equal legs of the isosceles triangle:-
52+22 = 29 and the square of this is about 5.385164807 or 5.385 to 3 dp
What else can I help you with?
When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?
Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
What is the range of lengths of each leg of an isosceles triangle if the measure of the base is 6 inches?
Any length greater than 3 inches.
If an isosceles triangle has a leg of 6 and a base of 8 what is the altitude?
Find this using the Pythagorean theorem (a=(1/2 * 8) b=the altitude c = 6).
The area of a right angled triangle is 30sqcm one leg is 6cmlong what is the length of the other leg?
the area of a right angled triangle is 30sqcm one leg is 6cm what is the length of the other one
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 15 and a leg of length 11 what is the are of the triangle?
56.08921465 or about 56 square units Worked out by using Pythagoras' theorem and area = 1/2*base*height.
The side of an isosceles triangle that is not a leg is called?
The base.
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and the perimeter is 39 what is the length of a leg?
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and its perimeter is 39, then it has a height of 12.87.
When can the leg of an isosceles triangle be used as the height of the triangle?
Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
Isosceles triangle has a base of 12 and a leg length of 8. What is the height?
square root of 28
What is the definition of leg of an isosceles triangle?
It is one of the two equivalent sides on the isosceles triangle.
What is the base of an isosceles triangle with leg 9 cm and height 6 cm?
Square root of 45.
Why is isosceles triangle?
The word "isosceles" comes from Greek roots and means "equal leg." An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.
Who is the inventor of isosceles triangle?
The isosceles triangle wasn't invented. The word isosceles is from Late Latin and from Greek isoskelēs, from iso- + skelos leg.
What is the leg of an isosceles triangle?
Either of the two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle. See attached link for a picture.
If Each leg of an isosceles triangle is 9 inches longer than one half the length of the base. If the perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 146 inches what is the length of one leg of the isosceles t?
Let the base length be x:- If: 2(0.5x+9)+x = 146 => x+18+x = 146 => 2x = 146-18 => x = 64 Therefore the isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides of 41 inches and a base of 64 inches Check: 41+41+64 = 146 inches
How do you find the measurement of the base of a isosceles triangle?
If you are given the length of 1 leg, L, and the altitude, A, the length of the base is the 2x square root of (L2 -A2 )
