Question

If the largest side of an isoceles triangle is 81m,the find perimeter of triangle

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles right angled triangle, the two sides on the right angle are equal.

Let the equal sides be a.

Hence, hypotenuse of the isosceles right angled triangle =

a

a

Given, perimeter of the triangle =(6+3

)m

⇒a+a+

2

a=(6+3

2

)m

⇒a(2+

2

)=3(2+

2

)m

⇒a=3m

In the isosceles right triangle, the base and height =a

Hence, area of the triangle =
