Question

Costruct an isosceles triangle of equal sides 4cm and altitude 5cm

Answer 1

Answer:

20cm isosceles triangle answer altitude

Answer 2

The triangle construction is not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Since the altitude of the isosceles triangle is 5 cm

• Note that altitude of an isosceles triangle bisects the base of the triangle

• Also, the equal sides of the triangle is 4 cm

• Therefore, the right angled triangle formed by one of the equal sides, altitude and half of the base of the isosceles triangle will not be possible

• Because we know that in a right angled triangle hypotenuse is the largest side

• Here, Hypotenuse = 4 cm

• And, one side of the right angled triangle = 5 cm

• Thus, triangle is not possible.

Hope this answer is helpful.
