draw a square of sides 5cm.draw an isosceles triangle of the same area
Answers
Answer:
Area of square = a² = 5² = 25 cm²
Area of isosceles triangle = 25 cm² = ½×base×height.
So to get an isoceles triangle of same area, two possibilities are there. That's,
Double the height and keep the base same. A=½×5 cmx10 cm=25cm²
Double the base length and keep the height same. A=½×10cm×5cm=25 cm²
Construction of Square
Draw a line and on it mark a segment of 5 cm. At each end draw a perpendicular. On each perpendicular line, cut an arc of 5 cm. Join the free ends to form a square.
Construction of Isoceles Triangle
Similarly draw a line and on it mark a segment of 5 cm. Draw a perpendicular bisector on the segment. Cut an arc of 10 cm on the perpendicular line. Join the three points to get an isoceles triangle of same area as the square.
