in each side of isoscles tranigle 3√2cm and base is 8 cm then find the area of isoscles traingle
Answers
Given:
- Each side of an isosceles triangle is 3√2 cm. And, Base of the isosceles triangle is 8 cm.
To find:
- Area of the isosceles triangle.
Solution: ABC is an isosceles triangle and we will know that two sides of isosceles triangle are equal. Therefore, AB is 3√2 cm and AC is 3√2 cm and Base (BC) is 8 cm respectively.
From ADB,
★ By using Pythagoras theorem ★
(AB)² = (BD)² + (AD)²
(3√2)² = (4)² + (AD)²
18 = 16 + AD²
AD² = 18 - 16
AD² = 2
AD = √2 ★
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
★ FINDING AREA :
★ Area of triangle = 1/2 (Base) (Height) ★
➠ Area of = 1/2 (BC) (AD)
➠ Area of = 1/2 (8) (√2)
➠ Area of = 4√2 cm ★
•°• Hence, area of isosceles triangle is 4√2 cm.
>area of isosceles triangle is 4√2 cm²
⚽ Correct Question ⚽
In each side of isoscles tranigle 3√2cm and base is 8 cm then find the area of isoscles traingle
⚽ Step by step explanation ⚽
Given:
Each side of an isosceles triangle is 3√3 cm.
Base of the isosceles triangle is 8 cm.
To find:
Area of the isosceles triangle.
Formula:
Pythagoras theorem:
(AB)² = (BD)² + (AD)²
Solution:
ABC is an isosceles triangle and we will know that two sides of isosceles triangle are equal. Therefore, AB is 3√2 cm and AC is 3√2 cm and Base (BC) is 8 cm respectively.
From ADB,
By using Pythagoras theorem
(AB)² = (BD)² + (AD)²
(3√2)² = (4)² + (AD)²
18 = 16 + AD²
AD² = 18 - 16
AD² = 2
AD = √2
Area of triangle = 1/2 (Base) (Height)
➠ 1/2 (BC) (AD)
➠ 1/2 (8) (√2)
➠ 4√2 cm
•°• Hence,
area of isosceles triangle is 4√2 cm².
