Question

An isosceles triangle has a base of 10 cm and a height of 12 cm calculate the length of its other two sides

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we will draw a median from point A to base BC

now since a median bisects the base

therefore the base is divided into two parts of 5cm each

now it's any one of the triangle by applying Pythagoras theorem you will get (12)^2+(5)^2 which is equal to 169 and the root of it is 13

This the two sides are 13 CM each
