we know that


.height is 64cm sq

base is 10 cm sq


we know that area of triangle is 1/2*base*height

therefore 1/2*64*10=320

ans 320

pls mark as brainliest

since this is an isosceles triangle we could split and have a perpendicular bisector. since it is a bisector we know the bottom part of it would be 5 (half of 10) and the hypothenuse would be 13. this is a right triangle since the line we got was a perpendicular bisector. 

using the pythagorean theorem we get height perpendicular bisector is 12. 
13^2 - 5^2 = 144 = 12^2 so side is 12 and it would be the altitude to BC 

now we find the area which is 1/2 ( b ) ( h ) we got the height/altitude which is 12 when base is 10 

so area will be 

1/2 ( 12 ) ( 10 ) = 60 

using AB as the base the perpendicular which is the height would be solved by 

2 A / b = h 

120 / 13 would be the altitude to BC
