Find the base of the isosceles triangle when the two sides are 10cm?

The length of the two equal sides is not enough information to uniquely determine the length of the base.
With sides of 10 cm, you can draw a triangle with anybase that's longer than zero and shorter than 20 cm.
The height can be anything taller than zero and shorter than 10 cm.

How do you find which triangle if you know the lengths of the sides of a triangle whether it is isosceles or equilateral or scalene?
You look at the lengths of the sided of the triangle. If the two lengths are same, the triangle is an isosceles triangle. If all the lengths are same, the triangle is an equilateral triangle. If none of the lengths are same, the triangle is a scalene triangle.
What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
What are the dimensions and interior angles of an isosceles triangle whose perpendicular height is 8 cm and has an area of 48 sq cm?
1/2*base*8 = 48 Multiply both sides by 2 and then divide both sides by 8: Base = 12 cm An isosceles triangle is made from two right angle triangles. So use Pythagoras' theorem to find the hypotenuse which will be one of the isosceles equal sides: 82+62 = 100 and the square root of this is 10 Use the tangent ratio to find the base angle: tan = opp/adj => tan = 8/6 = 53.13010235 or 53 degrees to the nearest degree Therefore: The isosceles triangle has two equal sides of 10 cm and a base of 12 cm. It has two equal base angles of 53 degrees and a vertex angle of 74 degrees.
If an isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 congruent equal sides if the third side is three times the length of the congruent sides and the perimeter is 75cm find the length of all three sides?
Let x be the length of one of the congruent sides, then the three sides are x, x, 3x. Perimeter = x + x + 3x = 5x = 75cm => x = 15cm Thus the three sides are 15cm, 15cm, 45cm.
How do you find perimeter of isosceles triangle with one side?
You cannot since there is insufficient information.
How do you find the side of an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle has 3 sides 2 of which are equal in length
How do i find the Angles in an isosceles triangle?
isoselceles triangel is tow sides areequal
How do you find height of isosceles triangle if you only know the length of equal sides and the base?
i can
How can you find the perimeter of isosceles triangle?
The answer depends on what information you have but, basically, you need to add together the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.
If three sides of triangle are 8cm 6cm 10cm Then find largest angle?
It is a right angle triangle and its largest angle is 90 degrees
How do you find which triangle if you know the lengths of the sides of a triangle whether it is isosceles or equilateral or scalene?
You look at the lengths of the sided of the triangle. If the two lengths are same, the triangle is an isosceles triangle. If all the lengths are same, the triangle is an equilateral triangle. If none of the lengths are same, the triangle is a scalene triangle.
The isosceles triangle had a side of 4.6 inches and a base of 3.9 inches. What was the distance around it?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides. To find the perimeter of the triangle, you simply need to add together the lengths of the base and the two sides. So: 3.9 + 4.6 +4.6 = 13.1 inches.
How do you find a perimeter of an isosceles triangle?
Assuming that neither of the sides of equal length is the base, Perimeter = Base + 2*Slanted sides.
How can you find the length of the 2 sides of an isosceles triangle when you know the base and the height?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
Why can equilateral triangle called an isosceles?
That's because it is possible to find two sides that have the same length.
How do you find an area of an isosceles triangle?
It depends on what information you have: one side and an angle, two different sides.
How do you find the height of an isosceles triangle when given only the three side lengths?
Make it a right triangle where one side of the right triangle is half the length of the non-identical side of the isosceles, the hypotenuse of the right triangle is the length of one of the identical sides of the isosceles triangle, then use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. Where "a" is the length of one of the identical sides, and "c" is the length of half the non-identical sides. Solve for "b" and that is your height.
