Yes if the isosceles triangle is a right isosceles triangle because that leg opposite the hypotenuse is the height
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
Any length greater than 3 inches.
Find this using the Pythagorean theorem (a=(1/2 * 8) b=the altitude c = 6).
First you half all the sides, so 4cm, them you multiply by pi, giving the radius as 12pi, or 12.56637061
The length is 32. Since an isosceles triangle is symmetrical, the height divides it into two right triangles. The hypotenuse of one of these triangles is 34, one of the legs is 30 (the height), and the other leg is half of the base, which we'll call x. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we know x^2+30^2=34^2, or x^2+900=1156. This gives us x^2=256, or x=16 (it could also be -16, but this is absurd because it's a length). We said x was half the base, so the base itself is 2x=2*16=32.
If the base of an isosceles triangle is 11 and its perimeter is 39, then it has a height of 12.87.
square root of 28
Square root of 45.
It is one of the two equivalent sides on the isosceles triangle.
A "leg" is the term used in geometry to describe the two sides that are equal in length in an isosceles triangle.
The word "isosceles" comes from Greek roots and means "equal leg." An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.
The isosceles triangle wasn't invented. The word isosceles is from Late Latin and from Greek isoskelēs, from iso- + skelos leg.
Either of the two congruent sides of an isosceles triangle. See attached link for a picture.
What is the length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle if it is area is 72 square inches?
The base.
12!!
Each leg works out as 9.998489886 to comply with Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
