Question

Each of equal side of an isosceles triangle is 4cm greater than it's height .If the base of the triangle is 24 cm calculate the perimeter and the area of the triangle​

Answer 1

hey mate ur answer is here...

Answer 2

Answer:

Perimeter = 64cm

Area = 192cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Base = 24cm

Height = xcm

(x+4)^2 = x^2 + (12)^2

x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + (12)^2

8x = x^2 - x^2 + 144 - 16

8x = 128

x = 128/8

x = 16

Perimeter = 24 + 16+ 4 + 16 + 4

Perimeter = 64cm

Area = $\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

{S = 64/2 = 32 ; A = 24 ; B = 20 ; C = 20}

Area = $\sqrt{32(32-24)(32-20)(32-20)}$

Area = $\sqrt{32*8*12*12}$

Area = $\sqrt{8*4*8*12*12}$

Area = 8*2*12

Area = $192cm^{2}$
